Biography

I am excited to teach various courses on evolution, ecology, and molecular and population genetics at Chapman. I am enthusiastic about teaching and science education, and am looking forward to working with others to incorporate active learning and evidence-based instructional practices in the classroom. My teaching is grounded from my background and interests in the lab. As an evolutionary biologist, I am broadly interested in exploring how intrinsic factors (e.g. differences in behavior and demography) and extrinsic factors (e.g. environmental perturbations and ecological differences) impact the evolution and dynamics of populations over time. My two major research projects in the past have focused on the population genetics of the monarch butterfly and the tuco-tuco, a rodent from South America.
