🌟 En dehors de la recherche, j'enseigne des travaux pratiques d'introduction à biologie et j'adore discuter avec tout le monde des chauves-souris et de notre programme de sciences participatives @Bat_Watch. J'aime aussi faire de la randonnée, du camping et de l’ornithologie !

🌟 Beyond research, I teach undergrad intro labs and love talking to everyone about bats & our citizen science program @Bat_Watch. I also like to go hiking, camping, & bird watching!
