I am a third year graduate student at Princeton University in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. I work primarily with Simon Levin and Stephen Pacala who are my advisors. I am working with a model of forest dynamics to try and understand some fundamental processes in ecology and evolutionary biology. In the next year I will begin to make observations and experiments in the field as informed by this work. In general my work is motivated by a desire to understand the mechanisms that determine community composition and the dynamics within. I was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I studied at the University of Pennsylvania as an undergraduate with the advising of Brenda Casper and Arthur Dunham. At Cedar Creek Ecosystem Science Reserve I performed an experiment on dynamic patterns of biodiversity for my undergraduate thesis. I have also worked with Stefan Schnitzer, Helene Muller-Landau, and Karen Masters. In my CV, I explain these projects in greater detail. At Princeton I am a member of the Princeton Energy and Climate Scholars. I am also a graduate student in residence at Rockefeller College. |
