E komo mai! Welcome!
My roots and shoots are currently growing as a postdoctoral researcher with the Tropical Hardwood Tree Improvement and Regeneration Center, where I continue to study forest regeneration.
My roots originate in the beautiful temperate forests of Western New York. I completed my B.S. in biology at James Madison University in Virginia's Appalachian mountains, researched in Australia's rainforest, worked in western ecosystems across eight states, and ventured to wild & wonderful West Virginia.
I continued my education by earning a M.S. degree in forest biology at Purdue University in Indiana. My M.S. field work in coastal Georgia involved forest restoration and regeneration of maritime forests focusing on live oak.
I completed my Ph.D. in natural resources and environmental management at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. My Ph.D. field work on the slopes of Maunaloa on Hawaiʻi Island was on tropical forest restoration with a focus on ʻiliahi (Hawaiian sandalwood).
