Research
My PhD research focuses on the effects of organic-matter removal and compaction on growth and health of 20-year-old lodgepole pine stands. In collaboration with the Ministry of Forests, Lands, and Natural Resource Operations this project uses Long-Term Soil Productivity (LTSP) instillations in the interior of British Columbia, Canada.

Background
I completed a BSc in Environmental Science from UBC in 2009 with a one-year exchange to New Zealand. My MSc research focused on plant and pollinator interactions in the high alpine of British Columbia through York University supervised by Dr. Christopher Lortie. I then worked at the Ministry of Forests, Lands, and Natural Resource Operations as the regional forest health technician. This job focused on identifying and managing damaging forests insects and diseases.
