Biographical Sketch:
I am a broadly trained ecologist and environmental scientist whose work is focused on applied and fundamental aspects of terrestrial ecosystem biogeochemistry. My research aims to improve our understanding about the flow of carbon and nutrients through ecosystems and addresses how different aspects of global change (e.g., altered fire regimes, plant community shifts) are impacting how ecosystems function from a biogeochemical perspective. I use my research to help inform land managers and stakeholders about sustainable management practices in forests and grassland systems.
