Brief Biographical Sketch:
I'm currently a junior studying a few different things that mainly fall under the umbrella of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology! Outside of classes, I direct Yale Children's Theater, an organization that brings theater and performance to kids in New Haven. I am also a FOOT leader (that's "First-Year Outdoor Orientation Trips"), so I organize and lead backpacking trips for incoming first-years at Yale. A lot of my time is spent at the Biological Anthropology Lab, where I manage our bone collection. I recently started doing research on epiphytes at the Comita lab at the School of the Environment.
