I am a freshwater ecologist with a focus on landscape heterogeneity and climate change interact to shape aquatic communities and their interactions. My research seeks to link landscape-scale drivers to fine-scale structuring of primary producer, invertebrate, and fish communities. I am currently a postdoctoral scientist with Dr. Sarah Collins at the University of Wyoming and the NSF EPSCoR Modelscapes Consortium, which leverages big data to develop model-based understandings of ecosystem function. I have a PhD from the University of Idaho where worked with Drs. Chris Caudill (UI) and Ryan Bellmore (USFS Pacific Northwest Research Station) to evaluate the variation in salmon-bearing food webs on the glacial margin of Southeast Alaska. I was also an NSF-IGERT Fellow with an interdisciplinary team studying water in a rapidly changing world.
