Briefly about me:
I am passionate about plants and their interactions with the environment and with other organisms (e.g. competition with other plants, mutualisms with mycorrhizal fungi, interactions with herbivores and fire).
I am currently co-leading a data synthesis project with Kim La Pierre and Kevin Wilcox analyzing the CORRE (community responses to resource experiments) database. This is a working group funded by LTER.
I recently contributed to the R package codyn, creating functions to analyze community changes over time and differences over space.
I do a lot of work at Konza Prairie an LTER, which is one of my favorite places to be a naturalist and a scientist.
This past summer I started working at the Baltimore Ecosystem Study, an urban LTER.

This website explores research that my lab currently works on. As an undergraduate, I studied a population of humpback whales, Megaptera novaeangliae, that wintered off the coast of Madagascar. For my Master's Degree, I investigated the effects of inorganic and organic nitrogen deposition on the regulation of nitrogen processing genes of the model fungus Hebeloma cylindrosporum and on ectomycorrhizal fungal communities.
