I am a PhD student at UT El Paso. I am currently studying the behavior of wolf spiders, Lycosidae, and the effects of artificial light at night on arthropods. I have a background in phylogenetics, population genetics, and behavior and have primarily worked with reptiles, amphibians, and arthropods. I am particularly interested in salamanders, snakes, beetles, and spiders although I have a broad interest in all animals and plants!
