BIOGRAPHY

My background is in forest ecology, forest soils and forest biogeochemistry. My research has included fundamental investigations of plant-soil interactions, carbon and nitrogen cycling in forest soils, and disturbance impacts on biogeochemical cycles in forest ecosystems. Currently, I am focused on applying this fundamental understanding to address real-world problems in sustainable forest management. I am also working on the development of new graduate training approaches aimed at broadening participation of women and minorities in forestry and other environmental sciences.
