Thanking you for visiting the HISS Lab! I am the Assistant Curator of Herpetology at the Virginia Museum of Natural History. I completed my dissertation work at the Louisiana State University Museum of Natural Science focused on systematics, biogeography, and evolution in snakes of the Pacific, specifically New Guinea. Before that, I was trained in parasitic flatworm taxonomy at Auburn University, working on cryptic diversity within the blood flukes infecting freshwater turtles. Now, using an integrative approach comprising genomics, morphology, and parasitology, I am interesting in elucidating ,the diversity and evolutionary history of herpetofauna and their parasites, specifically from New Guinea and the Eastern United States. Stay a while, and check out more details about our ongoing research!
