About me

Howdy! I am a Post-doctoral research associate at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. I am broadly interested in all questions regarding decision-making in animal behavior. In particular, I am interested in how information encoded in the environment is gathered, shared, and otherwise used to inform individual decision-making, and consequently how decisions made at the individual level may shape higher-order processes and interactions.

I believe in taking an integrative approach to research, leveraging methods and data from multiple different sources to answer questions. Currently, I am focused on combining theoretical modeling frameworks with empirical data gathered in the field and in a laboratory setting to answer questions regarding risk perception and decision-making during predator-prey interactions. For a more detailed description of my current research projects, please see the “Projects” page above. For publications and information on my teaching experience, please visit the “CV” page.
