Experience

• Michigan State University

  Graduate Student

  Worked in the Foran lab studying quantitative and functional genetic aspects of Lucilia sericata development as a means of improving forensic applications of blow fly biology.

• University of Southern California

  Postdoctoral Research Associate

  Worked in Sergey Nuzhdin's lab doing resequencing and allele-specific expression research. Also worked with Magnus Nordborg's lab to learn association mapping.

• UC Davis

  Postgraduate Research Assistant

• Texas A&M University, Department of Entomology

  Assistant Professor

  I do genetic and genomic research on fruit flies and blow flies. My research goals are to develop a better understanding of the evolution and ecology of life history traits in these flies, which has medical, agricultural, and forensic repercussions.
  
  I also teach entomology and forensic science undergraduate and graduate courses.
