New Paper Alert: Plant mycorrhizal associations mediate the zoogeochemical effects of calving subsidies by a forest ungulate 

New interview in Sierra Magazine on Conservation Ethics!  

New Paper Alert: Revisiting Two Dogmas of Conservation Science. 

Yale's Law, Animal, and Ethics program has been an instrumental supporter of my work in the last 4 years, and I've been lucky enough to give two interviews with them. Check out the interviews on my work on animal mediated subsidies with Diego Ellis-Soto here and my work on conservation ethics with Nathalie Sommer here.

After co-winning the Sidnie Manton Award from the Journal of Animal Ecology with Diego Ellis-Soto, we got to edit a special issue on Animal Mediated Subsides. It was an absolute joy to collate instrumental papers from the journal that have pushed this field further. 

I recently got to visit my collaborators in the WEEL Lab and the Biology Department at Memorial University to chat about zoogeochemistry and conservation ethics. A phenomenal trip to Newfoundland in the Fall! 

​I am honored to be selected as a 2022 PEO Scholar! This award is extremely special to me, as it is from a group of thoughtful and intelligent women who want to support future leaders in their fields. If you are a woman in your final 2 years of your PhD - check out this amazing opportunity.
 

About:

I am currently a Ph.D. candidate working with the Bradford Lab and the Schmitz Lab at the Yale School of the Environment. Previously, I did my MSc. in the Jorge Lab at Vanderbilt University. 

​I'm an ecosystem ecologist generally interested in how to incorporate animals into current ecological paradigms. Presently, I am exploring how animals impact their environments, as well as how conservation considers and incorporates animals into decision making.
