About Me
|
I am a NatureNet Science Fellow based at the University of Virginia and the Nature Conservancy's Virginia Coast Reserve, where I work with Max Castorani and Bo Lusk to optimize oyster reef restoration efforts. I completed my PhD in Ecology at the University of Georgia, where I worked with Jeb Byers to examine mechanisms and effects of mangrove expansion into salt marshes. I use a combination of field studies, laboratory experiments, and meta-analysis to address questions at the intersection of community ecology, invasion biology, and restoration ecology.
