Mountain Range

I am a behavioural ecologist broadly interested in sexual selection, social behaviour, and the intersection between these two seemingly disparate subfields. I use a variety of invertebrate animal models like bed bugs, fruit flies, acorn ants, freshwater snails, and the leaf-footed cactus bug to answer broad questions about animal behaviour. 

In 2024, I completed my PhD under the supervision of
Dr. Reuven Dukas at McMaster University. 
I then joined Dr. Christine Miller’s Evolutionary Ecology Lab at the University of Florida as a Postdoctoral Associate and was recently award an NSERC Postdoctoral Fellowship.
