Hi, my name is Shelly. My general research interest is polyploidy evolution and population genetics. In Fall 2024, I am starting as an NSF Post-Doctoral Research Fellow in Biology with the University of Michigan. In Summer 2024, I completed my Ph.D. in Botany with the Soltis Lab at the University of Florida.

Prior to my Ph.D., I completed my B.S. in Biology at the University of Central Florida, during which I was able to participate in multiple undergraduate research opportunties (see About). With this website, I hope to share my current research (see Research) and anything else that pops up along the way (see Other).
