• Dec 2022 - Present

Postdoctoral Researcher

• Jun 2021 - Feb 2023

I used digital imagery from the PhenoCam network (phenocam.nau.edu) to build and improve phenology models for grassland ecosystems. I also helped manage the imagery database and website, as well as led workshops for land managers, teachers, and researchers about how to set up and use repeat imagery data.

Graduate Research Assistant

• Aug 2015 - May 2021

I completed a PhD with Dr. Alan Knapp in the Graduate Degree Program in Ecology (GDPE). I used field experiments and remote sensing data to study how grassland ecosystems respond to changing rainfall patterns as a result of climate change. I also taught several laboratory classes and served as a private science tutor. I completed a PhD with Dr. Alan Knapp in the Graduate Degree Program in Ecology (GDPE).
