Research
I study the physiological mechanisms that underlie stress response in wild birds. I am particularly interested in how stress response varies across habitats and how it affects reproductive behavior and physiology. Among my other study interests are the cellular and genetic mechanisms that underlie feather color diversity and neural mechanisms that underlie behavioral diversity.

I use evidence-based approaches to foster an active learning environment in the classroom.
