I'm a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow and a Ph.D. Student in the Institute of the Environment and Sustainability at the University of California, Los Angeles. As part of the Blumstein Lab and Labyrinth Project, I'm co-advised by Drs. Daniel Blumstein and Christopher Kelty.

Before coming to UCLA, I worked with a range of wildlife conservation organizations in the United States, Ghana, Sierra Leone, and Namibia. Most recently, I conducted social science and animal welfare research as a program manager for the 
Conservation Society of California, Oakland Zoo. I also serve on the board of directors for the Santa Barbara Bird Sanctuary. I graduated from the University of California, Berkeley with a B.S. in Conservation & Resource Studies and a B.A. in Anthropology in 2022.
