Learning is the most important part of any career for me. Without education a human cannot emotionally grow or mentally mature. The same is true for any society. So even as I just peek my head into the collegiate atmosphere, I come with strong ideas and even stronger passion to research, learn, share ideas with the world in order to build upon public science understanding.

MY LATEST RESEARCH
In my first two semesters at CU Boulder, I have been doing class-related research on the effects of soil and water pH on Riparian ecosystems and the coevolution of predators and prey using the phylogentic method used to identify coevolution between parasites and hosts.
In an effort to explore my interest in interdisciplinary activities, I have been pursuing the combination of the fields of parasitology and invasive ecology. Johnson Lab at CU has been collecting data for several years on amphibians in the California Bay Area and their parasites and just recently began collecting data on the invasive fish parasites from the same region. I saw this the perfect opportunity to add something new to the field of invasion ecology.
