Hello!

I'm a behavioral ecologist and evolutionary anthropologist broadly interested in the evolution of social relationships. Specifically, my research examines why different species vary in their social relationships, how social relationships shift in response to salient socioecological challenges, and how social integration broadly shapes physiology and fitness.

For my current NSF SBE Postdoctoral Research Fellowship, I will identify the ecological and social forces that shape inter- and intra-specific variation in sociality across baboons and their close relatives. I recently completed my PhD in the Interdepartmental Doctoral Program in Anthropological Sciences at Stony Brook University, where I examined the links between sociality and reproductive success in gelada monkeys.
