I am a population and community ecologist. My work combines monitoring, experiments, and theoretical models to explore why community composition and population dynamics vary over space and time. While I am interested in general phenomena, my work is focused on insects and other arthropods because of their diversity, ecological importance, and sensitivity to ongoing global change.
I am currently an ORISE postdoctoral fellow in the Roeder lab at the North Central Agricultural Research Laboratory, where I am exploring how insects cope with environmental stressors and how their ability to tolerate stressors influences their dynamics and behavior.
