Restoration ecology and range management in drylands
Greetings! I am a member of the USDA-ARS Southwest Climate Hub as a postdoctoral researcher at New Mexico State University. My research focuses on restoration of degraded lands and invasive plant species management. I aim to provide practitioners with research insights to make data-informed management decisions. I recently graduated with a PhD in Natural Resources from the University of Arizona, as part of the Gornish Lab in the School of Natural Resources and the Environment. I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Environmental Science from the University of Arizona in 2019, and worked as a Research Specialist for the UArizona Center for Environmentally Sustainable Mining prior to beginning graduate school.
