I am a soil and ecosystem ecologist working with the Lien lab at the University of Arizona and Working Lands Conservation.

I received my PhD in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology in 2022 working in the Schweitzer lab at the University of Tennessee.

 

I lead interdisciplinary research evaluating carbon sequestration potential of riparian restoration practices in western

U.S. grazing systems, collaborating with scientists, conservation practitioners, and producers to generate

actionable guidance for USDA-NRCS.

 

My work integrates field ecology, biogeochemistry, molecular tools, and bioinformatics to advance applied

soil health science and climate change mitigation.​
