My background is in plant evolutionary genetics and genomics, where I use genetic tools to study plant conservation, evolution, and diversity. The field is generally computationally intensive, and I have worked for over a decade training users how to use HiPerGator and other high-performance computing systems to do the amazing research that is done across the University of Florida campus.
I enjoy spending time outdoors, hiking, backpacking and kayaking.

Some additional details:
My main appointment is now with UFIT, managing the Training and Regulated Data teams in Research Computing.
I co-develop the Practicum AI training curriculum–a hands-on applied Artificial Intelligence training program focused on non-STEM learners with limited technology and math background.
My research spanned a broad array of topics generally related to evolutionary genomics. I studied topics ranging from population and conservation genetics to genomics and bioinformatics.

I am not currently taking any new graduate students and do not have any post-doc positions. I am able to serve on graduate student committees if appropriate–please email me.
I do not update this page frequently enough to keep up with publications, so please see my Google Scholar Profile for a list of my publications.
