Her research: "I am interested in how the environment has changed through deep time, and the effects of these changes on invertebrates in marine and aquatic ecosystems both in the past and today. I am specifically interested in atmospheric oxygen changes through time and the ability for extant gastropods to cope with and/or take advantage of different oxygen levels."

Why paleontology? "I always thought I would be a straight marine ecologist, but now I have discovered how a paleontological and phylogenetic perspective can help address all of the interesting phenomena of life, and I'm excited to learn more."
