I am a quantitative aquatic ecologist who bridges freshwater and estuarine ecosystems to explore the environmental and ecological factors that shape biological systems.

Broadly, my work examines how communities resist, recover, or transform under environmental change. 

Much of my recent work has questions relating to phenology, disturbance response, species interactions, and extinction risk. I have addressed these questions using large-scale experimental manipulations, synthetic statistical frameworks, and theory-driven mathematical modeling.
 
My work often seeks to address questions that enhance our understanding of fundamental ecological relationships; however, I remain rooted in projects with direct applications to management and conservation efforts.
 
I will be recruiting students for Fall 2027. If you are interested in using large-scale models, massive datasets, or stream-focused field work please get in touch!
