About Me

I am currently a PhD candidate in the Plant Biology and Conservation Department at Northwestern University and Chicago Botanic Garden in Amy Iler's lab. Our lab focuses on global environmental change and the consequences in population and community ecology.

I believe plant science is an integral piece of our fight against climate change. Specifically, I am especially interested in physiological and ecological research with emphasis on climatic adaptation, drought response and alpine ecology. I am passionate about the integration of science into education of all levels in order to create equal opportunities, knowledgeable conservation and adept policy making.
