Kathleen is a native Texan (and yet somehow still cannot stand the summers here). She attended UT Arlington as an undergraduate, where she worked in Dr. Fujita’s lab on projects aimed at investigating genome evolution in salamanders, geckos, lizards, and frogs. She received her B.S. in Biology (Genetics) in 2015. As a graduate student, her research focuses on genetic diversity among the whiptail lizard Aspidoscelis and how it relates to their microbiome. She enjoys field work and anything else that allows her to get out and hike.
She also really likes cats.
