I’m a forest, landscape, and disturbance ecologist. In August 2026, I will be starting at the University of Colorado Boulder as a CIRES Fellow and Assistant Professor in the EBIO Department. I am currently a Research Associate in the Forest Futures Lab at the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies. In my work, I evaluate the spatial and temporal relationships between vegetation, climate, and disturbances such as fire, drought, cyclonic storms, and deforestation.
Most recently, I’m interested in forest response to and recovery from fire and the post-fire impacts on forest ecosystem services like carbon storage and water resources.
