I completed my undergraduate work at Oregon State University, where I helped with
the research of salamanders, butterflies, and fungi. I completed an undergraduate
research project looking at the affects of wildfire burn severity on ponderosa pine
seedlings and their mycorrhizal fungi.
As a graduate student I looked at the affects of postfire savlage logging on soil
bacteria, chemistry, and physical properties. During that time, I was a crew leader
on several projects as well as a Biological Sciences Tech at the USDA Forest Service's
Pacific Northwest Research Station.
I am currently a member of the Cronn Lab at the USDA Forest Service's Pacific Northwest
Research Station's Corvallis Forest Sciences Lab. This is part of the USDA's Pacific
Northwest Research Station's Landscape Genetics and Ecology Team.
