I am a postdoctoral research associate in the Department of Integrative Biology at Michigan State University in the Zipkin Quantitative Ecology Lab. I received my PhD in Forestry and Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior at Michigan State University in the Geospatial Lab of Dr. Andrew Finley. My research interests lie in the development of Bayesian hierarchical models for environmental monitoring and decision making. More specifically, I am interested in the development and application of statistical models for methods of monitoring wildlife populations across large spatio-temporal regions by leveraging a variety of data sources, including citizen science data and acoustic recordings.
