About Me

I am a PhD Candidate at UC Santa Cruz who uses landscape-scale comparative genomics to inform biodiversity conservation. My work spans diverse taxa in California, as well as fungal pathogens affecting a native tree in Hawai‘i.

I am part of the Corbett-Detig Lab in the Department of Biomolecular Engineering & Bioinformatics, affiliated with the UCSC Genomics Institute, and funded by the NSF-GRFP, NHGRI T32 Genome Science Program, and ARCS Foundation.
