I am an Assistant Professor at Wellesley College in the Department of Biological Sciences and an Adjunct Assistant Professor affiliated with the Ecology, Evolution, Ecosystems, & Society (EEES) Doctoral Program at Dartmouth. My research and teaching concern feedbacks between climate change, land-use change, and ecosystem processes. For more details about the work going on in my lab, see the Research page.
