I am a first year PhD student working in Molly Morris’ lab.  I am interested in the reproductive physiology of teleosts with respect to sexual selection and alternative reproductive tactics.

My research will focus on poeciliid fish species in the genus Xiphophorus, which exhibit a variety of reproductive strategies and serve as a model for understanding both intra- and intersexual selection.
