I am a Frontiers Postdoctoral Fellow at Columbia University in the Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Environmental Biology department and a Visiting Scientist at the American Museum of Natural History in the Center for Biodiversity and Conservation, working with Dr. Mary Blair.
Prior to my current appointment, I was a Postdoctoral Scholar at the Landscape Conservation Initiative at Northern Arizona University, advised by Dr. Clare Aslan. I completed my PhD in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Connecticut with Dr. Chris Elphick and Dr. Morgan Tingley. I am broadly interested in how anthropogenic changes to the environment affect the interactions between plant and animal communities, particularly seed dispersal and pollination. I am also interested in how climatic changes, land use, invasive species, and management decisions impact plant conservation.
