Toward Equity in Higher Education

As an ecologist, I am also interested in how students learn and reason about ecological phenomenon, quantitative data and analysis, and anthropogenic global changes.

In my lab, people come first. Specifically, we appreciate and welcome diverse perspectives and welcome everyone, irrespective of race, religion, gender identification, sexual orientation, age, or disability status. Diverse and inclusive groups are more creative and more successful at solving complex problems, so we prioritize diversity and inclusion in everything we do. Ultimately, we strive for our lab community to be a fun place to learn, a safe place to be vulnerable, and good place to do science.
