I am incredibly excited to announce that I will be joining the faculty @UMNFWCB as an Assistant Professor and the @BellMuseum as the Curator of Ichthyology & Molluscs in Fall 2023! I cannot wait to continue my research on freshwater fishes and head back to the Midwest!

So sad to be leaving an amazing scientific community I curated after being on here since I started graduate school in 2016. I softly let this place go after the buyout and haven't been active in a while. I'll be deactivating. See you all over on 🦋, at the same handle 💙
