I'm a postdoctoral fellow in the Marx lab and Museum of Southwestern Biology at the University of New Mexico. Most of my current and recent research has investigated plant-virus interactions across environmental clines and between host populations. I've also contributed to stakeholder-focused participatory research within academia and beyond it, and have participated in multiple NASA challenges to design food production systems for long term missions. I'm interested in conducting use-inspired ecological and evolutionary research that involves collaboration and equity between diverse communities and researchers.
As a teacher, I've created and taught a course on ecological change in alpine/Arctic ecosystems, and have contributed to both introductory and advanced undergraduate courses in ecology, evolution and plant sciences.
Key topics:
Plant-virus interactions, alpine ecology, environmental data science, inclusive science, human-mediated range expansions
