Currently, I work as a research technician for the COBRE Behavior Core. I began working in research fall 2018 at the 91直播视频under Dr. Teresa Dzieweczynski working with Betta splendens. From there, I furthered my research skills through the zebrafish facility as well as an Atlantic sturgeon project with Dr. Jeri Fox. I graduated magna cum laude with a B.S. in Animal Behavior with minors in Marine Biology and Environmental Studies in May of 2022. As such, I am extremely interested in conservation behavior especially in marine environments. In the fall after graduation, I taught the Animal Learning and Behavior lab under Dr. Michael Burman before transitioning to my position with the Behavior Core.
