Graduate student in the Biology PhD program interested in understanding neuronal networks and the genomics of complex social behaviors in vertebrates. Currently I am studying rock dwelling Malawi cichlids and aim to use single cell transcriptomics to analyze and make comparisons of specific genetic variants across multiple rock species that are expressed during certain behavioral interactions. In my free time I enjoy competitive cornholing whilst drinking fine pints, talking to animals, and painting oil portraits of the squirrels in Piedmont park.
