I am a grassland ecologist interested in the consequences of global change for plant diversity. I study the mechanisms and feedbacks that result in ecosystem transitions and persistent loss of diversity. In my career, I hope to contribute to grassland conservation by helping co-create knowledge that results in more resilient grasslands and improves restoration outcomes. I am currently a Postdoc at the University of Georgia working with Anny Chung. I did my PhD at the University of Minnesota in the department of Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior. As a member of the Isbell lab, I did a lot of my field work at Cedar Creek Ecosystem Science Reserve. I am also excited about cross-site synthesis, and working with a diverse group of collaborators. I am currently leading the LTER Transitions working group at NCEAS. Previously, I participated and contributed to the LTER Synchrony working group at NCEAS. |
