Welcome! I'm a current PhD student at Arkansas State University and am a member of the Neuman-Lee Lab (http://neumanleelab.weebly.com/). 

My research involves examining connections between skin infections, (such as ophidiomycosis, previously dubbed snake fungal disease), skin microbiota, and immune function in snakes throughout Northeast Arkansas. I am especially interested in intersecting disease ecology, spatial ecology, and immunology.

I obtained a Bachelor's Degree in both biology and music at Davidson College in North Carolina and a Master's Degree in Applied Ecology and Conservation Biology at Frostburg State University in Maryland.
