Long Bio
I attended Tufts University for my undergraduate degree where I double majored in Biopsychology and Science, Technology, and Society. Since earning my BS in 2017, I have had the opportunity to conduct research with wild capuchin monkeys in Costa Rica, as well as human mother-infant dyads and wild chimpanzees at several field sites throughout Uganda. I am broadly interested in primate behavioral ecology and the evolution of cooperation in both humans and non-human primates. For my masters, I examined how ecological factors constrain sociality in the wild male and female chimpanzees of Gombe National Park, Tanzania. For my dissertation, I hope to expand on this research by comparing the ecology and behavior of multiple chimpanzee communities within Gombe and Kibale National Park, Uganda.
