I am interested in both individual and population-level responses (and resilience!) to environmental change. I study songbird migration and reproduction to gain a better understanding of annual cycle transitions that shape fitness. I am studying American robin reproductive hormones in two populations—one in Bloomington and another in Alaska—to better understand the consequences of long-distance migration on reproduction. I have also been learning more about spatial data analysis with GIS and species distribution modeling in R. I aim to work for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service or National Park Service as an avian conservation practitioner.
