I first began studying lizards as an undergraduate student. I signed up for a field ecology course in southeastern Oregon studying the foraging behavior of desert lizards. This course combined science and camping!

My current research tried to understand how animals have adapted to different environments. My work combines studying animals in the lab with experiments in the field. I often apply mechanical ideas to animal locomotion, measuring the forces animals produce during movement. I really enjoy the combination of mechanics and biology that studying geckos allows.
