I began working on the Shark Bay Dolphin Project with Dr. Janet Mann as an undergraduate at Georgetown University. In January 2010, I started working for Dr. Mann full-time as a Research Associate to assist in building the Monkey Mia Ultimate Dolphin Database for processing and analyzing data collected during the long-term Shark Bay Dolphin Project.

I graduated with a BS in Biology and Psychology in Decemeber 2009. As an undergraduate, I worked in Dr. Peter Armbruster's lab examining the genetic mechanisms of phenotypic evolution in natural populations of the Asian tiger mosquito, Aedes albopictus, and completed my thesis entitled "Towards an understanding of the genetic basis of photoperiodic diapause in the Asian tiger mosquito Aedes albopictus."
