I am the Quantitative Ecologist for The Nature Conservancy in Washington state. I am a global change ecologist and conservation biologist and I typically use field experiments, meta-analysis and rigorous quantitative analysis of community science, crowd-sourced, and professional datasets to understand species responses to and implications of global changes such as climate change and urbanization. I have broad interests and have worked in diverse systems ranging from urban forests, tropical bee communities in coffee farms and amphibians of suburban vernal pools to old growth forests, temperate alpine plants, and coastal sandplain grassland communities.

I am fascinated with community ecology, conservation, urban ecology, community science, and many other aspects of biology. I love to be outdoors for fun, as well as work. Hiking, skiing, cooking, and eating delicious food with my husband and two sons are some of my favorite pastimes. They are all very good field helpers, too...
