Welcome to my personal pages at California State University, Fullerton. I am an assistant professor in the Department of Biological Science. I did my undergraduate work in Chemistry and Biology at The University of Texas at Tyler and went on to do my M.S. and Ph.D. in the Zoology Department at Miami University. There, I worked on spider ecology and evolution in the lab of Dr. Ann Rypstra. My post-doctoral work focussed on cricket behavior and alternative male strategies and was conducted with Dr. Bill Cade at the University of Lethbridge located in Alberta, Canada. Feel free to browse and find out more about me, my research, and my students.

In my lab, we are broadly intersted in the biology of terrestrial arthropods. My primary research interests are in the cognitive, evolutionary and behavioral ecology of reproduction. However, I have spent time dabling in community ecology, physiological ecology, and have a keen interest in functional morphology, geometric morphometrics, statistics, and individual based modelling.
