About me

I'm an ORISE Postdoctoral Research Fellow with the US Forest Service Pacific Northwest Research Station. I'm an ecologist and biogeographer, and although my current research focuses on trees, I've worked with species ranging from wolves to sage grouse to mountain beavers. I'm always excited to learn about new systems and cool critters!

Outside of science, I really enjoy interacting with the physical landscape. My favorite ways to do this are mountain biking, backcountry skiing, whitewater kayaking, and trail running. I also make music, and you might be able to catch me playing bluegrass around Missoula sometime.
