Biographical sketch
I am a current MS student studying the relationships between plant communities and erosional dynamics in coastal sand dune ecosystems. My research focus is on understanding the relationships between plant community dynamics and global climate change. This interest has driven me to work in a variety of coastal ecosystems including sand dunes, salt marshes, pinewoods, maritime forest, and pitcher plant bogs. I have experience working in R programming language, ArcGIS and ArcMap, and Microsoft Office Suite and am engaged in ongoing collaborations with other researchers across disciplines. Effectively communicating research, promoting scientific literacy, and engaging with the public are cornerstones of my career. I have a strong background in public and student scientific outreach and have worked directly with citizen science programs. I am currently a Graduate Teaching Assistant at Virginia Commonwealth University where I have facilitated scientific education for Biology students over the last two years.
