PhD Student, USDA National Needs Fellow

Northern Arizona University

I am a PhD student co-housed in the NAU School of Forestry and the Center for Ecosystem Science and Society (ECOSS). I am fortunate to work with Dr. Matthew Bowker and Dr. Anita Antoninka as a proud member of the DIRT (Desert & Intermountain Restoration Team) Lab.

Broadly, I research applied restoration ecology using biological soil crusts as my focal system. I work primarily in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona.
