I am a postdoctoral researcher in Maria Servedio's lab at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, in the Department of Biology. My research interests include cooperation and conflict in kin associations, the evolution of mating systems, and game theoretical modeling of behavioral evolution. I did my PhD in Janis Dickinson's lab at Cornell University, in the Department of Neurobiology & Behavior, with empirical work focusing on a banded population of western bluebirds at Hastings Reserve in upper Carmel Valley, California.
