​Hello! I am a plant-herbivore ecologist and NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Michigan State University. I work with the Wetzel Lab on questions of intraspecific plant diversity, global change, and the timing of species interactions. 

​I recently earned my Ph.D. in Integrative Biology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison as a member of the Lindroth research group. I grew up in Seattle, Washington and completed my B.S. in Genetics and Plant Biology at UC Berkeley. In my free time I enjoy riding and racing most types of bicycles.
