I am a student at the University of Colorado at Boulder in the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Department. My work focuses on mathematical and theoretical community ecology. I study how spatial structure promotes coexistence within a single trophic level and the coexistence mechanisms at play. I also study paleobiology and the driving forces that affect body size evolution, using the horse family as a case study.

My main activities outside of school are hiking, skiing, and camping. I love exploring the outdoors, especially mountains and desert ecosystems!
