About me
I'm a biogeographer and ecologist. My research interests involve community ecology, restoration ecology, plant taxonomy, and conservation. Additionally, I am interested in understanding the effects of climate change on high mountain vegetation.
Currently, I’m an Assistant Professor in the Department of Geography and the Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research at the University of Colorado Boulder. I’m the PI of the Mountain Ecology and Biogeography Lab.
