I am a graduate student in the program for Ecology and Evolution at Rutgers. My research focuses on the ecosystem functions of urban plants in stormwater basins. I am studying the ability of plants to filter stormwater, and the role of the stormwater network in supporting wetland plant biodiversity. I a Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens Botany in Action Fellow (2018-2020). In 2019-2020 I am the proud teaching assistant for the Plant Ecology and Freshwater Ecology courses at Rutgers. You can find me in the Hartman lab at 130 Blake Hall.
