I graduated from the University of Michigan - Ann Arbor in 2013 with a dual B.S. in Environmental Science and Ecology & Evolutionary Biology. I was part of the Continential Environments Research Group and Smith Lab where I worked on the reconstruction of ancient environments using phytoliths and soil isotopes. My honors thesis was on the nutritional ecology of Golden Snub-Nosed Monkeys, and I spent a year studying them in China on a Fulbright scholarship before starting my Ph.D.
In my free time, I enjoy photography, hiking, and traveling with my dog, Furby, We love to roadtrip and are fond of battlefields and other historical sites. At UM, I was part of the Michigan Ice Carving Team.
