I am a transdisciplinary biologist and primatologist working at the intersection of evolutionary theory and conservation practice.
I am a transdisciplinary biologist and primatologist working at the intersection of evolutionary theory and conservation practice.
My work is driven by two primary research programs:
Primate Behavioral Ecology: I investigate how primates navigate the fundamental trade-offs between their physical environments and their social worlds to answer why we see the breadth of behavioral and functional diversity present today.
Applied Conservation & Capacity Building: I study how to build more effective, equitable frameworks for conservation decision-making. This includes researching inclusive pedagogy and mentorship models that support the next generation of scientists and ensure that conservation efforts are both socially just and professionally sustainable. I am currently a postdoctoral researcher on a multi-institution project investigating co-production in land-use modeling and planning for conservation action at Arizona State University.
