I am an experienced ecological researcher and field crew leader and have worked with the U.S. Forest service's Rocky Mountain and Pacific Northwest Research Stations for the past four years. I have a passion for alpine ecology and cold environments. I graduated in 2021, summa cum laude, from the university of Colorado, Boulder with a bachelor's degree in in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and a minor in Visual Arts. While there, I worked with Dr. William Bowman and Chiara Forrester investigating the impacts of early warming and snowmelt on the seedling recruitment and phenology of the alpine flower Geum rossii.  ​When I am not doing field work I enjoy hiking, climbing, and creating art in all media.
