About ​Me.

I am a NIH National Institute for Environmental Health and Safety K99/R00 fellow.  I study the environmental determinants of social behavior in wild and domesticated animals. 

Through experiences in animal behavior, social networks, sensory physiology, environmental toxicology, entrepreneurship, and working with diverse cultures, my aim is to understand the environmental impact of physical parameters on social behavior, and develop commercializable tools, while advancing people from marginalized groups.
