I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Kansas working with Drs. Sara Baer and Maggie Wagner. I study how ecotypic variation in Big bluestem (Andropogon gerardii) affects ecosystem functioning across a large spatial and climate gradient. My dissertation work focused on the role of climate at the beginning of a restoration on the trajectories of community development. See my "Research" tab for more information!
