Biography

I am a recent graduate from the University of Minnesota Duluth pursing my PhD. I am fascinated by evolutionary biology, particularly trait evolution and allopolyploidy. My previous work includes my masters thesis where I investigated niche differentiation between reproductive modes of the fern species Myriopteris lindheimeri and modeled the distributions of asexual lineages of the fern species Myriopteris gracilis alongside other projects such as herbarium restoration and digitization. When I am not doing research I enjoy hiking, running, cooking, and drawing.
