I am a behavioural ecologist and evolutionary biologist interested in animal behaviour, sexual selection, life-history strategies, and inbreeding depression.

I'm currently a postdoc in Marlene Zuk's lab at the University of Minnesota. Before that I was a PhD student in Per Smiseth's lab at the University of Edinburgh.

My research asks how animals adjust their behaviour or life-history strategy to help them make the best of bad situations
