I'm involved with two projects for the Cnidarian Tree of Life. In Dr. Cartwright's lab I work on developing new markers for cnidarian phylogenetics. As a Tree of Life REU student, I am conducting a research project for the "Cnidarian Tree of Life " database under Professor Daphne Fautin. This involves literature research on finding type species of genera. I have lots of fun on both projects. Besides my research and classes my hobbies are rock-climbing and dancing.
