I am a theoretical ecologist interested in how we can use the tools of modeling to better predict and understand the behavior of natural systems. My current research focuses on how changing temperatures affect the extinction risk of organisms with different thermal tolerances, which is vital to understanding what sorts of temperature changes ecosystems can survive and what conservation actions are most effective. In past projects, I have modeled airborne virus spread and invasive species management strategies.

I am currently a PhD Candidate in Ecology & Evolutionary Biology working with David Vasseur at Yale University. I received my BA in Environmental Studies and Mathematics from Williams College in 2020 (completing a senior thesis with mathematical biologist Julie Blackwood), before pursuing a year of postgraduate research with Laura Fierce at Brookhaven National Laboratory from 2020-2021. I also work as a Graduate Writing Fellow and a science communications writer.

Outside of work, you can find me hiking with my dog, gardening, iNating plants, and photographing birds!
