I am a Ph.D. student in the Ecology and Evolution Group of
the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of
Illinois-Chicago (UIC). I conduct research as a member of
Dr. David Wise's lab group. I am also a fellow in the National
Science Foundation (NSF) funded Integrative Graduate Education
and Research Traineeship (IGERT) program entitled Landscape,
Ecological, and Anthropogenic Processes (LEAP). The LEAP
program aims to understand ecological processes in human-altered landscapes.

Research Interests: restoration ecology, invasion biology, ecosystem engineers, restoring natural variability and resiliency to degraded ecosystems, alternate stable states, and the many ways that organisms (humans included) affect the communities in which they live and the consequences of these effects on community development, especially in the context of restored ecosystems.
