Movement Ecology,
Origins of Migration,
Quantitative Methods,
​Population Biology

I am a PhD candidate at the University of Colorado Denver in Dr. Michael Wunder's Lab. I study how animals use movement as an adaptation to spatiotemporal heterogeneity at multiple scales. I want to understand what causes the diversity of movement strategies we see and how fitness and life history are both drivers of and driven by particular movement solutions.

I also spend time thinking about improving quantitative approaches to ecology and how we teach scientific inference and statistics. Statistical methods continue to evolve and improve (though maybe not as fast as they should) but frameworks for deploying these tools are often lacking.  Moreover, often, the way we teach inference and statistics to students has not kept pace with the state of the field.
