I am currently a PhD student in Giacomo Bernardi's lab at University of California, Santa Cruz. I am broadly interested in studying convergent evolution in the rocky intertidal fishes of California's Monterey Bay and Capetown, South Africa. My work thus far suggests cryptic speciation is common in these systems and I am working to further compare how, despite being separated by a great distance, these systems have produced species with remarkable morphological similarities.
