Biography
My undergraduate research examined the frequency of hybridization between native and invasive blackberry species, as well as the impacts of an invasive zooplankton on Kentucky reservoirs. I look forward to exploring more about invasion biology and population ecology during my time with EEB! When not in a research lab or class, you can find me knitting, embroidering, enjoying the great outdoors, or hanging out with my rescue cat, Gnocchi! I also have a passion for traveling, whether it be a camping trip to the Everglades (the mosquitoes were worse than the alligators!) or a summer spent in a beautiful countryside manor in England. I consider myself to be a roadside attraction enthusiast and am always willing to go out of my way for an adventure.
