  mentoring_philosophy: "I am a former FSU undergraduate student (BS Biological Sciences '16), who went on to pursue my PhD, so I have first-hand experience with how valuable early research experience is. I want to build a team that is willing to work together to solve problems and have some lighthearted fun about the struggles of coding, while also fostering independence for each member being able to work on a section of code alone. I am also here for my UROP members to answer questions and provide mentorship about graduate school and future careers as well as making the best of their time at FSU."

  overall_research_project_description: 'Domestication happens when humans influence how plants and animals evolve, often creating noticeable differences between domesticated species and their wild relatives. Scientists have long studied this process, known as the domestication syndrome, to understand common traits shared by domesticated species, such as changes in behavior and appearance. We can also study how species adapt to living in human-altered environments, such as in cities or captivity, especially in the early stages of domestication. Understanding these adaptations can help with conservation efforts, since animals that have lost certain wild genes might not survive well if reintroduced into natural habitats. This study aims to use wild and domestic turkeys exposed to different levels of human influence to better understand how human activity shapes evolution.'
