HISTORY
Hello and welcome to my professional website. I am a researcher of plant ecology and current Purdue master’s student. I was born and raised in Oregon and then received my undergraduate degree from Kalamazoo College. I am just finished my Master's thesis studying how to control the invasive Amur honeysuckle (Lonicera maackii) more effectively and its newly revealed ability to self-pollinate. My other research interests include imperiled plant conservation, neutral theory, trait-based ecology, and biostatistics. I am continuing my studies for a PhD at UC Davis in the Fall of 2021. If you have any questions or interesting topics you would like to discuss, please feel free to reach out!
