Personal Summary
I am from Carolina, Puerto Rico. My research interests lie within the intersection of theoretical and applied ecology. Currently, my graduate research is focused on exploring the impacts of intra-individual variation in white-tailed deer spatial ecology. My work will evaluate these impacts across multiple spatio-temporal scales and evaluate the role of resource availability on the expression of intra-individual variation.
