​Hello! I am a plant-herbivore ecologist and incoming NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Michigan State University. I will be working in the Wetzel Lab at MSU starting Fall 2020. 

​I recently completed 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.
