About me
I am a community ecologist at UC Santa Barbara in the Ecology, Evolution, and Marine Biology department. I use trait-based approaches to understand community responses to disturbance. Currently, I work in kelp forest systems focusing on algal recovery dynamics in the Santa Barbara Coastal Long Term Ecological Research site.
Starting November 1, I will be an Assistant Teaching Professor of Quantitative Methods and Data Science in the Environmental Studies Program at UCSB! I am really excited to train the next generation of environmental thinkers in open, reproducible, practices using real-world, local research and applied examples. Please get in touch if you are interested in collaborating!
