Research Interests:

I’m interested in the ecological and evolutionary drivers of the biogeographic patterns of rare, and endemic species. I pair demographic data with quantitative modeling techniques to explore how these patterns may shift in response to environmental changes. My graduate work focuses on Gratiola amphiantha, or snorkelwort, a federally threatened species endemic to granite outcrop vernal pools.
