By training, I am a soil biogeochemist and ecosystems ecologist focused on global environmental change. I am passionate about how climate, physiology, and plant-microbe interactions set the stage for elemental cycling on Earth.
I use an interdisciplinary suite of tools from microbial ecology, stable isotope mass spectrometry, and plant ecophysiology, and more, to address these questions.

Building Inclusive Science
|
Systematic barriers to entry keep many people outside of science. To overcome these barriers, I co-founded the first student-led effort to recruit underrepresented minority students to science graduate programs at an Ivy League university. Through collaboration with other graduate students, faculty, and administrators, Cornell Diversity Preview Weekend has brought over 150 prospective scholars to Cornell's campus. |
