Research Statement:

I am a second year undergraduate researcher in John Orrock’s lab. Currently, I am working towards my bachelors degree in Environmental Studies with a focus on Ecology and Biology at Washington University in St. Louis. My research interests are broad but I have special interest on the effects of invasive species on native species and the predators that prey on them. A project I am working on right now deals with the effects of the snail Helix aspersa on the plant growth of Brassica nigra.
