I am a hydrologist interested in integrated hydrology, which explores process interactions between the subsurface and surface hydrology. In particular, I am interested in how these interactions impact and are influenced by land surface processes such as land use and land cover change, vegetation type, and shifts related to climate change.  

I am currently a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Energy & Resources Group at the University of California, Berkeley. My role in this position is to lead a modeling effort using ParFlow-FATES to simulate interactions between vegetation and subsurface hydrology. The modeling domain is the East River watershed in Colorado, a small, mountainous, headwaters catchment in the Upper Colorado River basin. I am a hydrologic modeler by training and am excited to learn more about plant processes, ecohydrology, and the groundwater-soil-plant-atmosphere continuum.

Born in the Colorado foothills, I am passionate about water resource issues in the Western US. As I am based in Colorado, I am particularly interested in research opportunities around the Colorado Front Range area, but am open to a wide range of collaborations! I am a firm believer in collaborative science and enjoy working on interdisciplinary teams.

Outside of research, I spend time playing games with my tireless toddler, cooking up new recipes, scaling the walls of my local climbing gym, and hiking in the mountains.
