Welcome!

I'm an ecologist, author, and passionate advocate for our planet's magnificent creatures. As a Ph.D. candidate at UC Berkeley and NSF Graduate Research Fellow, I explore the intricate relationships between humans, domestic cats, and their wild counterparts. My research aims to uncover how our actions shape the natural world and how we can coexist more harmoniously with the animals that share our planet.

With gratitude, my work extends far beyond the lab. As the author of the award-winning children's book "Big Cats (A Day in the Life)" and a science communicator with a following of 31,000+ on TikTok, I'm on a mission to make ecology accessible and exciting for everyone. Whether through writing, speaking engagements, or social media, I'm here to spark curiosity about the wonders of our natural world and inspire a new generation of wildlife guardians.
