As an evolutionary biologist, I am fundamentally interested in how the genome evolves to maintain differentiated traits and populations. I have primarily addressed this question from two perspectives; (1) the evolution of complex traits and (2) sex chromosome evolution. My work intergrates population genomics, comparative genomics, and transcriptomics to understand the evolution of genetic architecture holistically.

I currently am a postdoctoral researcher working with Ryan Bracewell at Indiana University. I earned my PhD in the department of Evolution, Ecology, and Organismal Biology at the University of California, Riverside with my dissertation advisor, Alan Brelsford, and my Bachelor of Science in Biotechnology from Cal Poly Pomona.
