I am an Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Masters student at the University of Connecticut. I also completed my undergraduate studies at UConn, working in the Klassen lab where I researched pathogenic fungi within the attini ant-fungi symbiosis. 🌱 🐜 🐜 🐜 🐜 🐜
Currently, I am working in the Dagilis lab focusing on the pathogenic fungus responsible for White-Nose Bat Syndrome (Pseudogymnoascus destructans). More specifically, I am working on retesting the genome diversity of P. destructans, repeating the work of Forsynthe et al. 2021. 🦇️ 💻 🧬
