I work on Woodwell Climate’s Arctic Carbon Monitoring Network, ensuring that instruments are installed, maintained, and repaired to provide the highest quality data.
I have worked in permafrost ecosystems since 2011, studying the interrelationship between the physical functions of the Arctic tundra and the organisms that live there. My master’s degree research at the University of Arizona was a departure from the Arctic, focusing on water and temperature stresses in native pine species in the desert Southwest.
I also contribute to other research projects at the University of Arizona, one that reconstructs past climates using biological indicators, and another that researches methods of combining agriculture and solar power on the same land. I currently live in Tucson, Arizona, and enjoy gardening and fostering animals with medical conditions in my spare time.
