As a citizen science practitioner, I love talking about how research works, why it matters, and making science more accessible to everyone.

My current areas of interest:

• Cats as sentinels for lead exposure in low-income communities
• The practices of feral cat care and advocacy organizations in the US
• Photographic identification in cats based on smartphone photos
• A comparative human-animal bond study of two groups of animal lovers
• Understanding the outdoor cat management preferences of cat and bird advocates
• Developing citizen science solutions to traditional mark-recapture cat population research
