I am a Research Assistant who studies how changes in forests over time intersect with communities and other natural systems. At Woodwell Climate, I apply my knowledge of remote sensing, data management, and modeling to Arctic systems.

I have a background in forest ecology. My master’s research explored land cover and control change and industrial agriculture in Indonesia. During my undergraduate degree at Cornell University, I also conducted field work relating to forest dynamics and translated that experience to land cover studies that use remote sensing and mapping. 

I first got excited about using geospatial data to help answer place-based questions when I started learning about mapping technologies. I hope my research will help investigate the causes and effects of climate issues and help guide decision makers. In my free time, I can be found rock climbing, backpacking, or backcountry skiing.
