Graduate Student
Lab:
DeMarche Lab | Miller Plant Sciences
Research Interests:

I am broadly interested in how plant populations respond to climate change. Currently, my research explores how sex ratios in populations of an alpine plant species (Silene acaulis, gynodioecy) vary with environmental conditions and the consequences of varying sex ratios to population growth and persistence.

Education:

Admission to the University of Georgia Graduate School through the Integrated Plant Sciences Doctoral Program, Fall 2022.

M.S. Environmental and Conservation Sciences Interdisciplinary Program, North Dakota State University, Fargo ND 2022. M.S thesis research:“Intra- and inter-specific variation in plant responses to climate change.“

B.S. Biology and Chemistry, Concordia College, Moorhead MN 2020. B.S. Thesis Research:“Carbon allocation differences in cultivated and native prairie forbs.“
