I am broadly interested in our earliest animal ancestors that evolved during the Ediacaran–Cambrian transition, both from taphonomic and ecological/evolutionary perspectives. My taphonomic work utilizes geo- and paleobiology, geochemistry, and analytical microscopy to disentangle the influences of soft-tissue fossil preservation during this evolutionarily important interval.
