I am a biologist interested in causes and consequences of variation in behaviour, energetics, and genetics within individuals and within populations. I am primarily an evolutionary & behavioural ecologist, with experience in physiology, quantitative genetics, and molecular genetics.

Current Research Interests:
I am currently finishing my PhD studying variation in resource acquisition – namely, food-caching in North American red squirrels (Tamiasciurus hudsonicus). I am exploring relationships among life history, physiology, and ecology to better understand the range of caching success we observe and to give us insight into the evolution of behaviour.
Current Positions: I recently joined Canadian Science Publishing full-time as a Journal Development Specialist for the Canadian Journal of Zoology and Canadian Journal of Forest Research.
I serve on the advisory committee for CSEE’s Section for Long-Term Research, on the Systematic Collections Committee of the American Society of Mammalogists, and am a co-organizer with Support Our Science.
I am also interested in the evolution and maintenance of sex ratios in vertebrates, long-term ecological research as infrastructure and theoretical frameworks (particularly as graduate student training arenas), and the role of behaviour in eco-evolutionary dynamics. Previously, my research focused on studying patterns of genomic copy number variation using SNP microarrays.
