Welcome! I recently defended my PhD in the Department of Wildlife Ecology and Conservation at the University of Florida.

I am fascinated by the diversity and complexity of natural systems. As a community ecologist working predominantly with plants I use community phylogenetic methods to describe and understand why do we see, what we see, where we see it. 

In my work I am passionate about:

• Informing quantitative methodology with natural history
• Breathing new life into long term datasets to better understand the ecology and inform the management and conservation of systems
• Absorbing and synthesizing information across multiple disciplines to create effective, impactful products that accurately represent any system I am working on
