Scholar Description

I graduated from Southeastern Louisiana University in the spring of 2024 with a Bachelor of Science in biology and a minor in chemistry. My previous research experience involves the energetics, behaviors, and movement of different bat species. I am currently working in the Newsome lab at UNM, where I will be researching desert small mammals and the changes in their willingness to move across a landscape. After my time in PREP, I plan to pursue a PhD in ecology, researching movement and energetics.
