I am a PhD student broadly interested in drivers of change in invertebrate communities. I have a B.S. in Zoology from SUNY Oswego and a M.S. in Environmental Science and Ecology from SUNY Brockport. My work at the University of Vermont focuses on invasive earthworms, specifically Jumping Worms, and how they impact below-and above-ground insect communities, soil nutrient loss, and plant growth. I am a lover of all things bugs, and I enjoy spending my free time outside either hiking, kayaking, or gardening!
