I am an evolutionary ecologist whose research explores how environmental variability shapes phenotypic plasticity, trait variance, and adaptation across generations. I combine laboratory experiments with field studies to investigate how organisms respond to ecological stressors, from diet limitation in the water flea Daphnia, to predation risk in Trinidadian killifish (Anablepsoides hartii).

My work focuses on two core questions: how do stressors influence both the mean and variance of traits, and how do these effects persist or change across generations? By addressing these questions, I aim to clarify the role of plasticity and variance in eco-evolutionary dynamics, and to develop conceptual frameworks that connect individual variation to population resilience in changing environments.

Alongside my research, I am committed to teaching and mentoring. I draw on my field and lab experience to create hands-on, inquiry-based learning opportunities that help students see biology as a dynamic process of discovery.
