About ME

I am interested in the biogeochemistry and ecosystem function of aquatic systems in response to environmental change, and I am currently a Modelscape Postdoctoral Scholar in the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Science at the University of Nevada, Reno. My past and ongoing research projects examine the fate of organic matter and nutrients as they traverse the land to ocean margin. Teaching and scientific communication are integral to my research, and I am always seeking new mentorship and collaboration opportunities.
​
I received my PhD from the University of California, Santa Barbara as part of the Santa Barbara Coastal Long Term Ecological Research Project. I have held research positions at Stroud Water Research Center, the Southern California Coastal Water Research Project, and in laboratories at Vassar College (Keimowitz), University of Iowa (Just, Forbes) and Texas A&M University at Galveston (Louchouarn). I have also worked for the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation, World Learning, and Berkeley Research Group.
