About

My research focuses on conservation ecology including studying the large-scale impacts of environmental change on wildlife, biodiversity, and ecosystem function. Applications of my research include informing forest management decisions in relation to changing land use patterns and providing recommendations for conservation plans for species of conservation concern.
