Specific Interests

I am currently working as a post-doctoral researcher in the Oklahoma State University Collection of Vertebrates where I am working on renovations of the collections of fishes, reptiles, and amphibians. Most of my research has focused on freshwater stream organisms, including the effects of hydrologic alteration to natural flow regimes on communities of fishes and benthic macroinvertebrates. My other research interests include conservation of imperiled freshwater fishes and their habitats and the preservation and maintenance of natural history collections.
