I received a B.A. in Biology from Northwestern University. I completed my PhD in Fred Allendorf’s lab at the University of Montana in Missoula in 2005 (co-advised by Paul Spruell). I did postdoc work in Louis Bernatchez’s lab at Universite Laval in Quebec City (2005-2006, 2009) and Dave Tallmon’s lab in Juneau, Alaska (2007-2008). I have been at UMass Amherst since 2009.
