I am a PhD candidate in Interdisciplinary Ecology through the School of Natural Resources and Environment, at the University of Florida. I am part of the Flory Lab and am broadly interested in the impacts of anthropogenic disturbances on wildlife and ecological communities. My current research focuses on the impacts of urbanizaiton and invasive species on native species' behavior, distribution and evolution. I am fascinated by the interconnectedness of species in ecological communities and the complex, indirect, and cryptic impacts of different anthropogenic changes on these communities.
