About Me

Pronouns: they/them/she/her

I am a PhD student in Dr. Kiona Ogle's Ecological Synthesis Lab at Northern Arizona University, studying plant ecophysiology and ecosystem water fluxes in semi-arid ecosystems. My research interests include evapotranspiration partitioning, eddy covariance flux tower measurements, and Bayesian modeling. I'm currently working on modeling transpiration, evaporation, and water-use efficiency for ecosystems in New Mexico to better understand the biotic and abiotic drivers of dryland water fluxes and plant-water interactions throughout the year.

In May 2019, I graduated from the University of California Berkeley with a BS in Molecular Environmental Biology and a concentration in Ecology. At Berkeley, I was an undergraduate research assistant in the Ackerly Lab, where I studied blue oak physiology and northern California grassland ecology. I also cleaned and repaired whale skulls and other fun things for the UC Museum of Paleontology. In the fall of 2018, I studied crustose coralline algae at the Gump Station in Moorea, French Polynesia.

In 2020 and 2021, other Informatics graduate students and I worked to create the Informatics Graduate Student Association and the Broadening Participation Committee at NAU. For more information about the Informatics Graduate Student Association, please look here.
