Marine Biologist

Currently, I am an American Association for the Advancement of Science- Science and Technology Fellow at the Department of Defense serving with the U.S. Army in the Secretariat for Installations, Energy, and Environment. Recently, I was a lecturer at California State University- Long Beach teaching Invertebrate Zoology and postdoctoral researcher in the Halanych Lab at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington conducting research on Antarctic invertebrate ecology and evolution. 

I enjoy investigating how invertebrates have adapted and evolved to cope with environmental stressors, and am interested in studying these responses at all levels of scale, from genes to geographic distributions.
