Biography
I am a PhD candidtate working with Dr. Jack Horner here at MOR.  The focus of my research is dinosaur bone histology.  More specifically, I am interested in studying the population histology of dinosaurs, as well as modern animals, to learn more about dinosaur growth dynamics. I decided to come to MSU and MOR because of the outstanding histology facilities here as well as the extensive paleontological collections available for research.  Along with a strong interest in science, I am also an artist, and try to incorporate my art into my research whenever I can by doing scientific illustrations.
