I am queer and I am a neuroethologist.//
I have studied animal behavior for a decade and neurobiology for half of that. I received my Bachelor of Science in Zoology from Michigan State University in 2017, where I worked with Fred Dyer, Kay Holekamp, and Laura Smale. Afterwards, I spent my gap years studying baboons with a group from the University of Massachusetts-Amherst. I received my PhD in Integrative Biology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2023. My thesis explored the neural basis of vocal-social behaviors in songbird flocks. I am currently exploring postdoc opportunities.
