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 other taxa.
I am currently an ornithologist and senior forensic scientist at the USFWS National Forensic Lab. I was research assistant professor at the University of Nevada, Reno in the Allen Lab from September 2021 – May 2023. 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.
