I graduated from the University of Wisconsin in 2020 with a B.S. in Environmental Science with focused electives in ecology. Throughout my undergraduate career I was involved in diverse research in the field of aquatic ecology and biogeochemistry as part of the Stanley Lab within the Center For Limnology, which spurned my continued passion for freshwater research and conservation. In 2022 I received an M.S. in Biology from Idaho State University, where I studied the environmental drivers of ecosystem metabolism in urban stream and canal ecosystems. In February 2023 I accepted a research technician position at the University of Wyoming, where I will continue to use environmental sensors to monitor surface water quality and ecosystem productivity of lakes and reservoirs in Wyoming.
My research experiences to date have spanned a variety of freshwater ecosystems from natural and experimental lakes to agricultural and urban streams and canals. Combining environmental sensing with chemical lab analysis of field samples has been crucial to all of my research broadly aimed at understanding spatial and temporal dynamics of aquatic biogeochemical processes.

Born and raised in northern Wisconsin, I have been immersed in the outdoors and water resources all my life. In my spare time I enjoy hiking, fishing, traveling, camping, and playing sports. My enthusiasm for outdoor activities, particularly on or in the water, spurred my interest in aquatic science.
