About Me

I'm a community ecologist and my research investigates how local stressors (such as pollution and fishing) and global climate change interact to shape community assembly and resilience.   I am currently  a postdoctoral scholar in the Burkepile Lab and the Moorea Coral Reef LTER at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Previously I was an NSF Ocean Sciences Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Donovan Lab at Arizona State University. I earned my doctorate at the University of California, Santa Barbara in 2021 and my B.S. in Biology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2013. I have also spent time studying coral reefs in Bermuda and American Samoa, and working at the Sea Education Association.
