Bio

I am a PhD student in the Graduate Group in Ecology, currently researching fish assemblages across habitat types and restoration designs in Suisun Marsh. In collaboration with the Suisun Marsh Fish Study (SMFS) and Suisun Ponds Project, I am working to characterize differential outcomes of tidal restoration on Suisun Marsh native fishes. Broadly, I am interested in aquatic community ecology, wetland restoration, novel ecosystem theory, and social-ecological perspectives. Outside of my work at CWS, I enjoy writing stories, hiking, thrifting, and spending time with my friends!
