Welcome!

I am a palebiologist (paleontologist) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in the Department of Geology.  I specialize in Stratigraphic Paleobiology, a field that combines both the principles of sedimentology and stratigraphy with paleobiology to help understand past environmental change throughout Earth’s history.

I teach multiple introductory and upper level courses, I am deeply involved with Undergraduate Research focusing on the fields of Sedimentology, Stratigraphy, and Paleobiology,- all the while maintaining an active research program.
