I study how diversity and species distributions change across temporal and spatial scales. I am largely focused on the causes of extinction in birds and the phylogenetic relationships among lost and living species. I use fossils, genomic data, and ecological data in my research. My primary focus is on birds, but I am also working on projects focused on hutias, billfish, blind snakes, and land snails.
I am a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Nevada, Reno in the Allen Lab. I am an affiliate of the Florida Museum of Natural History. I live in Los Angeles. From August 2014-May 2016, I was the Vertebrate Paleontology Postdoctoral Researcher at Louisiana State University Museum of Natural Science. I earned my PhD at the University of Florida.
