I am an Intelligence Community Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Oklahmoa. My research focuses on cross-species transmission dynamics of DNA and RNA viruses in co-roosting Neotropical bats as well as the health and immunology of North American bats. Before joining the Becker Lab at University of Oklahoma, I completed my PhD at Wright State University with the Rúa and Hartzler Labs. There, I researched how long-term pathogen exposure impacts host ecology and physiology using big brown bats and white-nose syndrome as a model study system.
