Ornithology · Evolution · Genomics & Historical DNA
I'm a museum-trained ornithologist interested in the evolutionary processes responsible for generating diversity among closely-related organisms. I am an Assistant Professor in the Life Sciences Department at Santa Monica College, where I teach courses related to zoology, ecology, and evolution, and oversee the SMC natural history collections. I'm also a research associate in the Ornithology Department at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, and a research affiliate at the Moore Laboratory of Zoology at Occidental College.
