  Organized 15-minute introductory lectures for weekly lab assignments aimed at providing background biological knowledge and ensuring student success during experiments. Oversaw 24 students per lab session in the completion of lab assignments in both virtual and in-person formats and evaluated student performance on lab assignments. Conducted a 2-year long conservation-based project on bird-window collisions and reflection as a risk factor.

  • Feb 2018 - Jun 2018

  Assisted in studying courtship and mating behavior in Lance-tailed manakins through behavioral observations in which territory defense, alliance patterns and mating displays were noted. Strengthened nest searching skills. Enhanced mist-netting skills by learning to safely extract and perform timed bleeds on a range of birds.

  Gained critical experience banding and bleeding birds, setting up mist net towers, extracting birds from mist nets, nest searching and conducting behavioral watches. Learned to climb palm trees using two techniques and learned how to check cavity nests while climbing. Worked with visiting researchers on projects involving genetic relatedness between Narrow and Broad-billed Todies and between Palmchats.

• Undergraduate Researcher

  • Aug 2014 - May 2016

  Obtained various lab skills, such as freshwater species identification and experimental design, through the development of two protocols. Developed a senior thesis project addressing community interactions between multiple mosquito species, zooplankton competitors and a common predator. Analyzed multiple data sets to inform overarching question and hypotheses while writing a scientific manuscript.
