Welcome to my website.I am currently a

postdoctoral researcher at the University of New Hampshire. My research focuses on the ecology and conservation of amphibians and reptiles. I use a mix of experimental and survey methods to answer both fundamental and applied ecological questions. This website includes information about experimental design, quantitative analyses, and statistical programming that I hope you find useful.
