Herpetologist | Ph.D. Student

About me

I am a Ph.D. student at the University of Zurich in Dr. Oliver Hawlitschek's Phylogenetic Systematics of Animals Lab in the Department of Evolutionary Biology & Environmental Studies.

I am also working in close collaboration with the Museum of Southwestern Biology and Dr. Lisa N. Barrow's Amphibian & Reptile Biodiversity Lab at the University of New Mexico and with the Comoros National Center for Documentation and Research (CNDRS). 

Broadly, my work (and my passion) is centered around collections-based biodiversity research on reptiles and amphibians that can directly impact conservation efforts.
