Bridging the gap

between

scientific ​research,

communication,

​and real-world

impact

Introduction

I am a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Connecticut studying adaptation and evolution with applications in both conservation and industry. My research combines scientific investigation with innovative communication approaches, allowing me to develop unique partnerships between academia and local businesses. With a background spanning evolutionary biology, ecology, and anthropology, I bring an interdisciplinary lens to understanding how organisms and ideas adapt to changing environments.
