I am an urban ecologist attempting to understand the processes and patterns that form urban plant and animal communities. Across systems; plants, insect, fish, and birds, my lab uses field-collected data by myself and others to understand how processes such as urbanization, fragmentation, and infrastructure development influences meta-community dynamics and biodiversity patterns. We also work to understand how human-nature interactions influence, and are influenced by, urban biodiversity.
My lab at Cornell University has just gotten started as of July 2025! Please reach out if you are interested in collaborations and stay tuned for updates.
