Welcome - Bienvenido - Bemvindo - Bienvenue

In 2010 I graduated from the University of Vermont with a B.Sc. in Botany. Following graduation, I spent four years exploring my interests in experiential education, horticulture, and participated in an array field projects. In those four years, I lived and worked throughout the United States and Peru. The diversity of work and cultures I experienced at home and abroad inspired me to pursue research at the graduate level. As of Fall of 2014, I enrolled at FIU under the tutelage of Dr. Kenneth J. Feeley to study tropical ecology and conservation. As of January 2017, the Feeley lab relocated to the University of Miami. In October of 2019 I defended my dissertation, graduated in December and moved to British Columbia, Canada to start a postdoc position in January of 2020.
