Welcome! I am an environmental statistician and data scientist, and my research is primarily focused on developing and applying statistical and machine learning models to environmental and ecological data to inform decision-making,  support conservation efforts, and promote sustainability. My current work generally aims at detecting change, differences, and structure in complex  biological data. 

My research is primarily focused on interpretable machine learning methods for environmental and ecological data. I am a lover of all things citizen science and birds!

I am an avid trail runner, amateur naturalist, birder, and wildlife photographer. (Click here to view my etsy store).
