About Me
Research Analyst at the Rutgers eDNA Lab under Julie Lockwood. I handle the analysis of laboratory data and distill the results into visualizations, tables, and writings that paint a clearer picture…most of the time.
I love being able to tell a data set’s story and get high on learning new things (especially if it’s computational).
In my spare time, I like going fishing, brewing good coffee (I try not to be weird about it), and playing fetch with Capitan, my mischievous corgi.
