I am excited to be starting my lab in the Fall of 2023 at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville! I am broadly interested in the mechanisms, outcomes, and evolutionary consequences of animal decision-making.

I conducted my PhD at the University of Texas at Austin and the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute where I studied different aspects of learning and decision-making in Neotropical bats. After my PhD, I switched to working on bumblebee decision-making also at the University of Texas at Austin. My recent work has focused on how bees make decisions when confronted with flowers that have complex signals and rewards.
