Applied Aquatic Ecology

Life-long learner who is passionate about understanding why we observe certain patterns in the ecological world. Generally I study aquatic organisms and their interactions with their environment to determine ecological patterns and apply those patterns to ecological theories (River, Recruitment), conservation, and management. 

I love teaching and mentoring students. Check out my teaching page for information on R Tidyverse courses I teach. 

I enjoy homesteading, gardening, cooking, baking, camping, kayaking, backpacking, traveling, reading fantasy novels, and playing board and video games. Also a mom to several scaley and furry creatures.
