Research Interests: With a BA from Vassar College in earth science and biology, I am interested in how we can use large-scale ecological and remote sensing data to understand the world around us and make data-informed decisions during the climate crisis. I am particularly interested in using tools such as GIS and R, combined with empirical field data, to collect and understand data. I am currently an Environmental Studies master's student in the TEEL Lab studying the interactions between climate change, wildfire, and conifer regeneration failure in the southwestern United States.
