PhD Candidate, EEB
Research
My research interest lies in the nexus of nature and humans, especially regarding the effects of introduced biota in complex and layered landscapes that are continually shaped by human activities—past and present. Currently, I study the diet and ecological impacts of introduced, invasive house mouse (Mus musculus) populations as well as rodenticide resistance in insular populations. Using a range of techniques, from next-generation sequencing to stable isotopes, I seek to understand how this widespread rodent species impacts island biota and how to maximize insular ecosystem recovery. To reach this goal, I have obtained a B.Sc. degree in Environmental Science and a M.Sc. degree in Biological Sciences. Additionally, I am committed to growing and supporting more inclusive communities through science communication and education; meaningful and effective science requires a diversity of perspectives, opportunities, and engagement.
