I'm a researcher studying the factors and constraints that influence the evolution of vertebrate morphology. My research focuses on comparing groups that have evolved similar morphologies, specifically the elongate, limbless body plan most well known in snakes. 

​

I'm also interested in increasing diversity in science. I started a workshop series, the Graduate School Application Preparation Group (GAP Group) through the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology. GAP Group is a cohort-based workshop series free to anyone in the world, that walks aspiring scientists through the process of applying to graduate school.
