PhD Candidate,

I am a reproductive ecologist broadly interested in the behavior, endocrinology, and microbiomes of female social animals.
Working with Dr. Elizabeth Archie, my main research goal is to understand the dynamics of female reproduction by integrating diverse research perspectives and methods. I combine multiple lines of research, including behavior, microbiomes, and hormones, and consider the importance of developmental, social, and ecological context to investigate what drives interindividual variation in reproductive outcomes. Prior to joining the Archie Lab at Notre Dame, I graduated from Duke University and, at the Duke Lemur Center, studied gut, vaginal, and labial microbiomes. I have done extended field work in Kenya, South Africa, and Madagascar, on topics including baboon maternal care, giraffe disease etiology, and the impacts of fire and elephants on savannah ecosystems, among many others.
