I am a postdoc at Ohio State University with Lisle Gibbs and the Ohio Biodiversity Conservation Partnership on conservation genomics of eastern massasauga rattlesnakes (Sistrurus catenatus).

My previous postdoc I learned about functional genomics and gene expression with Chris Balakrishnan, Manakin RCN, and the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in Washington DC with Mike Braun. I was lucky to work on fantastic manakin birds (Family: Pipridae).

I completed my PhD in 2017 at Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia. My project was supervised by Simon Griffith and Lee Ann Rollins (Deakin University) on the extent of genetic incompatibility between head-colour morphs of wild Gouldian Finches (Chloebia gouldiae). 

I studied my undergraduate degree in at the Australian National University (ANU) in Canberra, Australia. I continued on to do an Honours dissertation with the Scott Keogh on the phylogenetics of Australian burrowing snakes. 

I fancy myself a bit of an outdoor-adventurer/rock-climber/field-naturalist/artist/photographer/nerd.
