I graduated with my Ph.D. in Biological Sciences: Behavior, Ecology, Evolution, and Systematics from the University of Maryland. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics and Statistics from Vassar College in 2019, where I focused on dynamical systems theory applied to species interactions and population biology.

In my graduate work, I used mathematical and statistical tools to answer questions about population dynamics, demography, sociality, infectious disease and animal movement in real-world natural systems. My interests are broad, but my dissertation work has predominantly centered on  two systems:

• Caribou in the North American Arctic, with funding from the National Science Foundation through the Fate of the Caribou project
• Scimitar-horned oryx in Chad, in partnership with the oryx reintroduction effort of the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute and its global partners
