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 stream restoration in western grazing systems, collaborating with scientists, conservation practitioners, and producers to generate actionable guidance for NRCS.

 

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

soil health science and climate mitigation.​
