Welcome! I'm a current PhD student at Arkansas State University and am a member of the Neuman-Lee Lab (http://neumanleelab.weebly.com/). I obtained a Bachelor's Degree in both biology and music at Davidson College in North Carolina and a Master's Degree in Applied Ecology and Conservation Biology at Frostburg State University in Maryland.

My research involves examining connections between fungal skin infections, skin microbiota, and immune function in snakes, with a focus on snakes in Northeast Arkansas. I am especially interested in intersecting disease ecology, spatial ecology, and immunology.
