Primary Area of Expertise
I completed my doctoral studies in Biology with an Evolution, Ecology and Behavior concentration at the CUNY Graduate Center. In my research I examined differences in morphology as well as prey capture and mating call behavior in green frogs, Lithobates clamitans, from urban and rural sites.
Additionally, as a Master’s student, I utilized scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy to describe a female urogenital tract bacterium, Mobiluncus mulieris.
