- Research interests: parasitology, disease ecology, climate change, macroevolution and microevolution, genetics, parasite impacts on phylogeny, parasite impacts on behavior, conservation methods
I have been with the Johnson lab for over a year, first as an undergraduate student and now as a research technician! I recently graduated from the University of Colorado Boulder with my bachelor's degree in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, as well as a minor in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences and a certificate in Animal Studies. I am extremely interested in the complex life cycle of helminths and how they can impact different organisms in an ecosystem. Now that I've graduated, I am hoping to continue my education by pursuing a doctorate degree in parasitology by Fall 2025. In my free time, I enjoy painting, crocheting, and hanging out with my pets.
