Chahta sia. I am Choctaw. My M.S. research was at the request of a Tribal biologist to investigate the impact of lake or river habitat on Manoomin seed size. My doctoral research used quantitative genetics and a native prairie legume to examine natural selection and the genetic capacity to adapt to environmental change. After finishing my doctorate, I worked on marsh grass genomics at a Northeastern in Boston, and then on stickleback minnow genomics with Dr. Kat Milligan-Myhre at the University of Alaska, Anchorage. My work at UC Santa Barbara focused on using quantitative genetics to learn about the ability of wild populations to adapt to climate change.
