​Welcome!
​
I am excited to announce that I will be joining the University of Connecticut Department of Marine Sciences in January 2018 as an Assistant Professor.  Stay tuned for more details!

My research examines the behavioral and evolutionary ecology of species interactions and how these interactions scale up to shape community dynamics and ecosystem function.

Thanks for visiting!

Originally from Long Island (NY), my education has taken me through Pittsburgh (PA), London (UK), Boston (MA), Catalina Island (CA), and French Polynesia. ​I currently reside north of Boston with my husband, where we enjoy surfing, climbing, and learning all sorts of new things! We're excited for the upcoming move to UCONN!
