"Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others" - Jonathan Swift

I am an NIH T32 Hematology Training Fellow at the University of Utah in the Eccles Institute of Human Genetics with Dr. Nathan Clark.
​
Previously:  I was an NSF Postdoctoral Fellow in Biology (PRFB: Broadening Participation) at Oregon State University with Dr. Felipe Barreto (2017 - 2020). I was also a  Maytag Fellow in the lab of Dr. Kevin McCracken at the University of Miami ​(2012-2017)

​I am an integrative biologist who strives to connect evolution, genetics, and physiology, using both wet-lab and dry-lab techniques. 
​Part of my passion has been in scientific outreach and engagement, because science is for everyone! 

​Generally, I'm interested in the ways selection shapes genetic variation across the genome, and the
level of predictability associated with the underlying mechanisms to adaptation. 
Specifically, I am interested in the organismal response and underlying adaptations to extreme environmental conditions,
especially in low-oxygen situations (aquatic or terrestrial).
