In November 2026 I started a new position as a Field Scientist with Biota, a US-based conservation NGO. My role is to plan and facilitate expeditions to fill biodiversity data gaps in remote tropical regions across the globe.

As a researcher, my work has encompassed community ecology, bioacoustics, thermal physiology, landscape ecology, and behavior. I do a lot of tropical fieldwork, most often with a focus on frogs and lizards.
