Welcome!

I'm an urban ecologist who centers societal inequity and injustice to understand the landscape people and wildlife experience, and what that means for our collective futures. My research spans across ecological scans, from what shapes an individual's behavior to investigating the drivers of biodiversity, and thinks holistically about cities to promote positive human-wildlife interactions, evenly monitor urban biodiversity, and improve access to nature.
Currently, I'm a NSF Graduate Research & Chancellor Fellow at the University of California, Berkeley in the Schell Lab. I'm also an urban ecologist at Second Nature Ecology + Design. I formerly served as the Co-Chair of the Environmental Justice Section of the Ecological Society of America from 2021-2023. |
