Welcome!

Thank you for visiting my website! I am a plant ecologist interested in rare species and invasive species, and am driven by what makes populations at these ends of the abundance spectrum tick. I have worked primarily within restored habitat systems, as we can use experimental techniques to directly test ideas about species rarity and growing populations within these systems.
​
I am currently a postdoctoral scientist in the Damschen Lab at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Prior to joining the Damschen Lab, I completed a PhD in the Brudvig Lab in the Department of Plant Biology and the Program in Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior at Michigan State University.
