Professional Experience:
2001-present Post-Doctoral
research with John N. Thompson. The phylogeography of California. Together,
John and I are investigating the historical patterns that have resulted in the
distribution of genetically based population structure in California. This work
is funded by the Packard foundation and the CROWN project.
1997-2001: Teaching Assistant;
University of California, Santa Cruz: I have taught laboratory and discussion
sections in Ethology and Behavioral Ecology, Molecular and Cellular Biology,
and Physiology.
1994-1996: Undergraduate
Research with Barry Sinervo, Indiana University: I conducted experiments examining
the effects of a stress hormone (corticosterone) on stamina and metabolic rate
in the side-blotched lizard, Uta stansburiana.
