About
I am currently a graduate student at ASU in the Evolution PhD program. I am interested in looking at the effects that urbanization has on population genetic structure. The black widow spider is a cool specimen to study as they are both an invasive and endemic species, which is extremely rare as many organisms are either one or the other.
Research is my passion, so once I have completed my schooling, I plan to become a research faculty member at a university. This will allow me to perform my own research as well as mentor students to spark their passion for research!
