Welcome! I am an ornithologist with a background in field biology and museum-based research. I am passionate about applying cutting-edge preservation techniques and tools in natural history collections and leveraging natural history museums for conservation research.

​

I earned my BS in Biological Sciences from Cornell University in 2012, my MS in Wildlife Ecology and Conservation from the University of Florida in 2018, and my PhD in Organismal and Evolutionary Biology from Harvard University in 2025.
