I am an ecologist interested in understanding how climate change-induced shifts in the timing of life history events affect species interactions. My current research focuses on the effects of shifts in flowering time on plant-pollinator interactions. I use experimental manipulations, long-term historical data, and observations that take advantage of natural variation in phenology to investigate both species-specific and community-level responses.
I'm currently a postdoctoral fellow in Judie Bronstein's lab in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Arizona. I received my Ph.D. in Zoology under the supervision of Tony Ives at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where I conducted fieldwork in Curtis Prairie. Before joining Tony's lab, I gained field experience with primates in Nicaragua and Uganda and earned a Master's degree studying three-spined sticklebacks. As an undergraduate at the University of Washington, I worked in Dee Boersma's lab and spent time helping with the Magellanic Penguin Project in Argentina. I also learned marine mammalogy field techniques while studying orcas at Friday Harbor Labs on San Juan Island.
