I have just defended my PhD and currently work at Yale University with Anjan Bhullar. I will soon begin my postdoctoral research at the Florida Museum of Natural History, advised by Arthur Porto and Jonathan Bloch.

I study the environmental and evolutionary processes responsible for behavioral innovation in extinct mammals and reptiles. I pursue this work using a combination of classic paleontological methods, phylogenetic machine-learning algorithms, and 3D modeling techniques.

I received my PhD in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Yale University in 2025, where my dissertation research focused on the evolution of aquatic and macrocarnivorous lifestyles in reptiles. I received my BA in Biology and Philosophy with Honors at Bowdoin College in 2014.
