I joined the Hocking Lab in the Fall of 2017. I love all things Program R and GIS related and am interested in understanding how an organism’s internal and external environment interact. My general research interests include spatial, quantitative, disease, and physiological ecology. For my research, I will be examining the spatial distribution of turtles along the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal in conjunction with conducting blood and enteric bacteria analyses. I hope to examine relationships between environmental factors, spatial distributions, and pathogen prevalence in C&O Canal turtle populations.
