Species Interactions| ​Ecosystem Functioning| Environmental Change

Picture
I am an ecologist and environmental scientist. Currently, I am a PhD candidate in Ecology at the Duke University Nicholas School of the Environment, in the Nunn Lab. A fascination with plant-animal interaction networks, human-nature relationships, and forest ecology in a changing world motivates my research. I am passionate about ecological research, teaching, and fostering equitable intellectual communities.  
​
I graduated from Harvard University in 2019 with a AB in Integrative Biology, secondary in Environmental Science and Public Policy, and citation in Spanish. Before starting at Duke, I studied mangrove ecology and carbon dynamics in Guayaquil, Ecuador, as a Fulbright Student Researcher. 

I first found my love for the environment in the urban wilds of Boston, where I was born and raised. Since then, I have cultivated my interests in forest ecology during research projects in Madagascar, Ecuador, Gabon, Suriname, and other amazing places. When I am not measuring trees or hunched over an R script, you can find me chatting with my twin sister Isabelle, swimming laps, riding my bike, or enjoying a novel. 

​I am endlessly inspired by and grateful for my collaborators in the USA and abroad. I love that science is a team effort and I am always eager to connect with fellow ecology/ conservation enthusiasts.
