I am an evolutionary ecologist and molecular ecologist. My research focuses on understanding the generation and maintenance of phenotypic and genetic diversity through ecological selection and conservation genomics of reptiles and amphibians. I approach the study of biodiversity as inherently integrative, combining genomic, epigenomic, morphological, and ecological techniques. I am a Canadian, a Californian, and in my free time I enjoy backpacking, video games, and cooking.
