Who Am I?
Hello! I'm an undergraduate second-year at Arizona State University. I love Arizona's sweeping vistas, star-scraping mountains, and diversity of flora and fauna. I'm a hiker, a backpacker, a camper, and an all-around adventurer who loves popcorn and cats. As an ecology and conservation major, I'm concerned about the longevity of Spaceship Earth's incredible biodiversity. As a data science major, I'm a statistics and coding nerd.
Current and recent Research experience

Biobanter
Biobanter is a fun and engaging set of events during the school year at ASU! Students have the opportunity to talk with faculty and peers about biological concepts that relate to popular culture. Biobanter is organized through the School of Life Sciences (SOLS), but any student can attend any event. (Food is provided!)
