About Me

I am currently a Postdoctoral Scholar in Andrew Rypel’s lab at the Center for Watershed Sciences. I have worked on freshwater systems in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains and California’s Sierra Nevada, and have studied reservoir fisheries, climate change impacts to mountain ranges, landscape limnology, and food web ecology. I have also had the opportunity to work with a diverse range of organisms including macroinvertebrates, salamanders, and freshwater fishes.

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Biology from Saint Mary’s College, followed by a Master’s in Ecology and Sustainability from California State University, Stanislaus. I then completed my Ph.D. in Ecology at the University of California, Davis. You can read more about my research on this website or follow along with the #SierraFishes project on Twitter to see adventures of backcountry research.
