About me

Mazinaw Lake, ON

I’m an EEB Postdoctoral Fellow at The University of Toronto, working primarily with Stephen Wright. I did my PhD in Evolutionary Biology with a minor in Bioinformatics, working in Matthew Hahn’s lab at Indiana University Bloomington. I’m broadly interested in theoretical and computational approaches to phylogenomics.

I was born and raised in Renfrew, Ontario, Canada. I went to the University of Toronto for my undergraduate, where I graduated with an Honours Bachelor of Science in 2017. In the past I’ve been involved in outdoor education, with jobs as a camp counselor and as a Natural Heritage Educator at Bon Echo Provincial Park (see photo, taken at Mazinaw Lake, ON in 2016).
