I have always had a passion for wildlife, and even when I was young, I found myself wondering why different animals behaved or evolved in certain ways. When I learned I had the opportunity to get involved with research in the lab, I was excited to learn more about how life systems work.<\/p>\n<p>In previous years, I\u2019ve been involved with research on life history traits and the relationship between genetics and egg size of threespine stickleback. The summer before my junior year, I received the Summer Undergraduate Research Experience award and focused my research interests towards the stress response system of female stickleback and the maternal effects on fry.<\/p>\n<p>I am currently enrolled in the 5<sup>th<\/sup> Year Masters program at Clark. After graduating in May, I plan on exploring various wildlife conservation programs within the U.S. I want to learn more about how changes in the environment are affecting different life systems.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Outside of the lab<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In my free time, I love playing with my hedgehog, Penny.
