Bio:

My main area of study is plant function and biodiversity, including its origins, maintenance and consequences. I am eager to work in whatever ways I can to conserve and restore the Earth's biodiversity. I grew up in the beautiful foothills of the Appalachian Mountains and spent my childhood summers hiking and camping across North America. The love of nature I gained as a child translated into an intense curiosity about how plants function, adapt to their environment, and diversify and assemble in communities. But I have always had a tension in my life between trying to make a difference in the political landscape and want to understand how nature works. Through my undergrad (Cornell, College Scholar in Ecology and Society) and masters (Yale, School for Forestry and Environmental Studies), I tried to do both.
