I'm a Ph.D. student at UCLA in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology in the Kraft Lab, where I study seed dispersal and community assembly in grasslands to inform restoration strategies & create resilient habitats for the future.
I'm a UC Davis alum with a B.S. in Plant Biology and minors in Professional Writing and Ecology, Evolution, & Biodiversity. I've previously studied plants across micro to macro scales, from nitty gritty tomato genetics to drivers of biodiversity across landscapes. I earned my California Naturalist certification through the University of California's Agriculture and Natural Resources Division in 2019, which kickstarted my love for community science. You can find me on the weekends contributing to my favorite projects, including iNaturalist, CalFlora, and eBird. I also volunteer as a docent at Jepson Prairie Preserve in Dixon, CA, and as a western snowy plover monitor for Los Angeles Audubon. |
