I am currently a post-doctoral researcher at the Toronto Zoo in the Wildlife Health & Science Centre. I am broadly interested in multidisciplinary approaches to study wildlife species to aid in their protection. My research at the zoo currently focuses on the threatened eastern massasauga rattlesnake, including growth and development in zoos, genetic sexing with skin sheds, and retrospective mortality analyses using large datasets. 

Previous to this, I earned my PhD at Mississippi State University studying the use of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) to help conserve at-risk amphibian species. For my master's degree, I worked in Madagascar studying lemurs via arboreal camera trapping and occupancy modelling. I am passionate about implementing interdisciplinary, data-driven approaches to assist threatened animal populations. I aim to have a career focused on improving our understanding of species to aid in their conservation.
