I study how diversity and species distributions change across temporal and spatial scales. 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 crocodiles, lizards, turtles, and land snails. 
 
I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Florida Museum of Natural History. From August 2014-May 2016, I was the Vertebrate Paleontology Postdoctoral Researcher at Louisiana State University Museum of Natural Science.
