Hi! I am a postdoctoral fellow in OEB working with the Davis Lab. I am an evolutionary biologist broadly interested in plant and insect phylogenetics, innovative approaches to museum genomics, and microbial evolution.  My postdoctoral research at the Harvard University Herbaria is looking to better understand the evolutionary history of medicinal plants using herbarium specimens with novel genomic methodologies. My PhD research at The University of Chicago and the Field Museum focused on beginning to disentangle the evolutionary history of ant bacterial and viral communities using various phylogenomic approaches.
