Forest Ecology and Invasive Species

University of Vermont

I’m a graduate student at the University of Vermont’s Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources studying forest ecology and invasive species. Those fields represent the major areas of study in my career, but I’m also broadly interested in ecology and applied science for conservation. Before starting my MS program, I served as an AmeriCorps member with the Hemlock Restoration Initiative in North Carolina, which catalyzed my interest in communicating science, and science-backed management practices, to the general public.
