Research interests

I am a quantitative ecologist interested in applied problems in conservation and natural resource management. In my research, I develop mathematical models and computational tools to support decision-making in the face of environmental risks and scientific uncertainty. My most recent work has focused on the economic value of environmental monitoring programs and evaluating strategies to mitigate the evolutionary effects of fish hatcheries. Although I aim to generate insights and methods that are broadly applicable, I am particularly enthusiastic about fisheries management and fish conservation.

Professional experience

I am currently a Ph.D. Candidate studying ecology at UC Davis, where I am co-advised by  Marissa Baskett and Micheal Springborn.  I will be starting a position as a post-doctoral researcher with James Watson at Oregon State University In January 2024, working on model-informed machine-learning techniques for ecological data analysis and forecasting. I graduated from Carleton College in 2018 with a BA in Mathematics and Chemistry.
