Professional Summary
I am interested in the behavior and ecology of animals with a primary focus on reptiles. Currently, I am investigating how snakes choose to move through the environment and the diet and feeding behavior of local snake species. My research consists of field studies around Cincinnati in combination with laboratory experiments.
