About Me

I am a fourth year graduate student in the Department of Physics at Wake Forest University. I graduated from Wake with a Master's degree in Education in 2012 and taught high school math in Wilmington, NC for six years. I returned to Wake Forest in 2018 as graduate student in the Deparment of Mathematics and Statistics where I completed my master's thesis under the direction of  John Gemmer.  My academic interests lie at the confluence of math and physics with applications in climate and environmental dynamics. My doctoral work is conducted under the direction of Lauren Lowman in the Environmental Dynamics Lab. I am currently studying how flash drought affects vegetation water use strategies and vegetation regrowth dynamics after prescribed fire.
