My interests are in ecotoxicology and conservation. For my dissertation, I am working on two different projects. One is a hazard assessment of heavy metals, specifically mercury, to water birds in Lake Chapala, Mexico. The other is a comprehensive diet study of the endangered Attwater’s Prairie Chicken using stable isotopes 13C and 15N.
Brief summary about myself:
I obtained my bachelor’s from Texas A&M University in Biomedical Science, and after working for a year decided to go back to school for my PhD. When I am not doing research, I enjoy playing tennis and reading.
