I am a certified ecologist with an extensive background in genomics data science dedicated to collaborative research, data management, and science communication. Experienced in applying bioinformatics to manage and analyze big data (using R and high performance computing). I am passionate about using data science to make the world a better place.

I am currently a postdoctoral scholar in the Genomic Variation Lab at UC Davis using experiments and historic data to inform conservation of an endangered fish.

I earned my PhD in Ecology from the University of Wyoming in the Wildlife Genomics and Disease Ecology Lab working on population genomics and disease ecology.
