My background is in evolutionary biology and microbiology. I'm broadly interested in understanding how host interactions shape the evolution and ecology of bacteria.

I explore the ways that vertebrate hosts cope with infections from the diverse community of parasites they encounter throughout their lives. Currently, I'm looking at signatures of selection on the immune genes of lizards, and correlating those signatures with the lizard's parasite community.

I'm a broadly-trained pollination ecologist currently evaluating the fungal associates of native and non-native mason bees as potential drivers of native mason bee declines. My research in this system has been made possible by a citizen/community science partnership with over 200 people in the Mid-Atlantic US to evaluate mason bee health and diversity. I enjoy community-building while doing science and I hope to do this throughout my career.

I am interested in microbial diversity and microbial-host interactions in natural settings. I want to explore the ecological roles fulfilled by microbes and their effects on the surrounding multicellular community.

I find the influence of microbes on host behavior exciting. Currently, my research focuses on how epiphytic bacteria and plant viruses interact with aphid vectors to alter pathogen distribution. Generally, I am interested in host-microbe interactions, evolutionary ecology, and microbial ecology. When not in lab, I am developing my teaching pedagogy, working on my scientific communication skills, bird watching, and doing scientific illustrations.

I am excited to learn more about the beneficial effects of gut bacteria in aphids, and whether it promotes better diet absorption contributing to fitness and reproductivity. Outside of the lab I like to dance, go on adventures with my friends, and watch Netflix.

​I am interested in the interactions between different nectar associated bacteria. Currently, I am studying the effects of competition between various strains of Acinetobacter spp. Outside of lab, I enjoy baking, illustrating, and foraging for mushrooms.

In the lab I have been helping to understand how different strains of fluorescent Pseudomonas bacteria on leaves impact aphid behavior. I am also interested in the evolution and ecological impact of different species, especially in reptiles.
