Welcome to my webpage!

I am a behavioral ecologist studying the evolution and ecology of social behavior and co-director of the Mara Hyena Project, a long-term study of hyena behavior and ecology in Kenya.

This is a transitional webpage as I begin my new position as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Integrative Biology at Michigan State University. Please watch this space for updates as I establish my lab.

Interested in joining the lab? I anticipate recruiting new lab members to start late 2025 - Fall 2026 in the following positions:

  • Graduate student or postdoc (1-2)
  • Lab manager or data technician (1-2)

If you are interested in these positions, please contact me! Further details to come Summer 2025.
