I am interested in pursuing a career in research and hope to someday become a research Professor. Currently I have had research experiences in paleolimnology, molecular biology, neotropical ecology, and entomolgy. I am also passionate about marine biology, aquatic ecology, and evolutionary biology, and I hope to explore these areas more thoroughly! Right now I am seeking PhD opportunities focused on northern ecology, with an emphasis on the impacts that climate change has on northern animals. I hope to pursue opportunities that allow me to work with Indigenous communities, such that research projects can be directly useful.
