I’m an ecologist and geographer interested in basic and applied questions relating to life history theory, phenology, and ecological scaling in seasonal environments.

Recent advances in drone, satellite, and time-lapse image capture paired with analytical tools from the computational sciences now allow for classic ideas from ecology to be examined from new perspectives. With this approach, I hope to build on existing theory and improve conservation applications. Collaboration is key to interdisciplinary projects and field-based research. It provides learning opportunities for students and senior researchers alike and a chance to contribute to scientific outcomes greater than the sum of their parts.
