I am currently completing my PhD at the University of Tennessee.  My dissertation focuses on conservation genetics and the Ctenosaura palearis complex.  The four main components of my dissertation include an evaluation of species boundaries within the complex, an investigation of a possible hybridization threat, gaining an understanding of colonization patterns within this complex, and creating a thorough management strategy for one species within the complex, Ctenosaura melanosterna.

In addition to these research objectives I am involved in a variety of collaborations and have wide ranging interests in addressing issues in conservation and management through research and education.
