I study how how carbon cycles through forests. I'm currently working as a postdoctoral researcher with the U.S. Forest Service, within the Carbon Science Group in the Forest Inventory and Analysis Program. I am also based at Dartmouth College as a Visiting Scholar.

​

I am particularly interested in the ways that microbial communities may influence the response of ecosystem carbon dynamics to climate change and shifts in plant species composition. My previous work has been focused on New England forest ecosystems.

When I'm not in the lab, you can find me hiking, making art, and chasing around my two small children.
