I am an evolutionary geneticist studying genome evolution and its consequences across species. I’m currently a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, working with Daniel Matute and Dan Schrider in Aedes and Drosophila evolutionary genomics. Since 2021, I have been a visiting researcher in the Whitlock Lab at the UBC Biodiversity Research Centre.
I did my Ph.D. in the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology department at the University of Toronto, under the supervision of Stephen Wright, studying the genomic consequences of plant genome structure. I received my B.S. in Genetics and Genomics with a minor in Statistics from the University of California, Davis in 2015, where I worked in the Ross-Ibarra lab.
