Welcome

Hello! I am currently an NSF Postdoctoral Scholar at University of California, Santa Cruz. I’m working in the Global Change Research Group to learn about evolutionary resiliency of giant kelp to it’s rapidly changing environment. I completed my PhD at Michigan State University working with Drs. Gideon Bradburd and Sarah Fitzpatrick. I received my master’s with Dr. Jeanne Robertson at California State University Northridge. I study small populations, and how they have persisted in the face of anthropogenic changes.
