I am a PhD student in the Shurin lab studying community ecology in salt marshes. More specifically, I study plant interactions such as competition and facilitation and how they are affected by environmental variability. I am conducting an experiment in two San Diego marshes to see how sea-level rise will affect interactions among plants, particularly interactions with the dominant plant species. I also have an experiment examining how interaction strength and sign change across a latitudinal gradient extending from San Diego to Humboldt Bay in northern California and am working on a greenhouse experiment and a data analysis project.
