I am an ecologist who seeks to understand trophic dynamics and nutrient flows through ecosystems, especially in response to rapid global change. My research integrates large-scale field experiments with lab-animal studies and molecular tools to investigate the role of trophic interactions in shaping the patterns that we see in nature, from species' traits to larger ecosystem processes.

I earned my Ph.D. in Ecology, Evolution, and Organismal Biology from Brown University in 2023 and am currently a postdoctoral researcher at the University of California, Santa Barbara. ​
