  • Role
    Scientist Mentor: I will mentor teams of students online

  • Research Interests (300 words)
    I am interested in plant diversity and evolution. Currently, I am trying to understand the diversity of milkweeds in North America by figuring out how the 115 different species are related to each other evolutionarily. I use differences in the DNA of the milkweeds to determine these relationships.
