Hello! I am a population, community, and chemical ecologist! I combine observational and manipulative field and laboratory experiments, analytical chemistry, and demographic modeling to explore the causes and consequences of variation in plant-animal and insect-microbe mutualisms across space and time. I am particularly interested in understanding how mutualisms are affected by global change, as well as how organisms balance the need to attract mutualists with the need to defend themselves against antagonists. I love teaching and mentoring students and actively advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion in the sciences.

News! I will be opening my lab as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biology at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, TX, in August 2024. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me to inquire about opportunities available in the lab. Please check out my new lab website for additional information about upcoming plans.

Please visit my Google Scholar page for a current list of my publications. For additional information, read more About Me, check out my Curriculum Vitae, or watch a recording of a recent seminar I gave about my research.
