I am a first year graduate student in the Rieseberg Lab, co-advised by Sally Otto. I am interested the evolution of reproductive isolation in flowering plants and how sexual selection fits into that process. My research experience includes moving small volumes of colourless, odorless liquids between vials in Vancouver, BC; hiking up and down mountains and counting flowers in Gothic, Colorado; watching bumblebees forage and carefully observing leaves in Toronto, Ontario; tracking pollen fates in Bach Ma National Park, Vietnam; and sifting through fossilized Mastodon gut contents in Byron, New York.
