Research Interests

I research the impact of environmental change on the behavior of Neotropical migratory birds. While completing my M.Sc. at Ohio State, I studied how wintering Swainson’s Warblers respond to changes in seasonal precipitation by adjusting their space use. At Cornell, I am investigating how the lengthening green season impacts the timing of breeding and fall migration of Black-throated Blue Warblers.
