My work explores plant population dynamics and distribution patterns to understand the ecology of natural populations' responses to environmental change across space and through time. I approach ecological questions from applied and theoretical perspectives, and am partial to rare species and insular ecosystems with high levels of endemism.

I'm currently completing my PhD in the Department of Plant Biology at the University of Georgia with Dr. Megan DeMarche, in Athens, Georgia. 

Outside of research, I write poetry, run, forage native foods, cook, sew my own clothes, and go birding.
