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

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

 

I integrate ecosystem ecology, microbial ecology, and biogeochemistry in my research using a diversity of

approaches including field observations, laboratory techniques, glasshouse experiments,

genomic sequencing, and bioinformatics.

​

I am passionate about using rigorous and readily translatable science to solve pressing environmental challenges.
