I am currently a Gaylord Donnelley Postdoctoral Environmental Fellow and NSF Postdoctoral Research in Biology (PRFB) Fellow at the Yale Institute for Biospheric Studies, working with Anjan Bhullar. I also hang out at the Yale School of Medicine with John Fulkerson. My goal is to figure out how joints work and where they come from – evolutionarily and developmentally.

I received my PhD in Ecology, Evolution, and Organismal Biology from Brown University in 2022, where my dissertation research with Steve Gatesy focused on joint mobility as a bridge between form and function. I received my BA in Integrative Biology with highest honors from UC Berkeley in 2016.
