Who am I?
I am an Integrative Biology MSc student studying under the advisement of Dr. Barney Luttbeg at Oklahoma State University. I received my BSc with Honors in Biology from UMass Dartmouth. My research interests include behavioral ecology and the impact of predation risk on prey. Currently, I am studying what factors influence behavioral responses to predation risk and comparing those responses to other types of risk.
