Past Collaborators and Mentors
Dr. Blaine Griffen
Associate Professor University of South Carolina Dr. Griffen served as both my academic and research adviser at the University of South Carolina. It was his Invertebrate Zoology course which got me interested in Community Ecology. He supported my grant application for the Magellan Scholarship which provided funding for my first research project. Together, we published this research in Ecology. He continued to advise me until I left to begin my PhD.

Dr. Benjamin Toscano
Post Doctoral Researcher Rice University Dr. Toscano was the graduate student who advised me as an undergraduate researcher. We spent our summers together at the Baruch Marine Field Lab in Georgetown, SC. Our research focused on individual trait variation and its influence on trait mediated indirect effects within oyster reef communities. He is currently a Post-Doctoral Researcher at Rice University under the advisement of Dr. Volker Rudolf.

Dr. Joseph Quattro
Associate Professor University of South Carolina Dr. Quattro served as my first academic and research adviser as an undergraduate student. I began my career as a researcher in his lab during my sophomore year in college. His Ichthyology course sparked my interest in fish and put me on that career path. Following a year of research, I realized that genetics was not where my true interests were. I then began my career as an ecologist with Dr. Blaine Griffen.
