Postdoctoral Researcher in Dr. Warner's Lab at the University of Delaware School of Marine Science and Policy.
Previously an NSF CREST-CAChE Doctoral Fellow within Dr. Eirin-Lopez's Environmental Epigenetics Lab at Florida International University
I am studying phenotypic plasticity in corals with specific interests in shifts in resilience and the molecular underpinnings of plasticity. I also prioritize the applicability of my research to conservation and restoration efforts.
Chapter 1: Coral environmental memory: causes, mechanisms, and consequences for future reefs View at Trends in Ecology and Evolution
Chapter 2: Relationships between phenotypic plasticity and epigenetic variation in two Caribbean Acropora corals View at Molecular Ecology, Github repository
Chapter 3: The influence of pre-exposure to multiple stressors on the acute thermal tolerance of Acropora cervicornis corals (Manuscript is in preparation)
Chapter 4: The legacy effect of environmental history on coral physiology, growth rate, and thermal tolerance (Manuscript is in preparation)
