About me

I'm an animal behaviorist who studies social behavior and how social interactions in other species impact their well-being. Currently, most of my research is focused on colony housed cats living in animal shelters. Developing a better understanding  of how these cats interact with each other and the resources in their environment will help us minimize their stress during their time at the shelter.

Previously, I explored the influence of social relationships on cooperation in chimpanzees and capuchin monkeys as a graduate student at Emory University.
