Graduate Student
Research Interests:

I'm interested in how plant-microbial interactions shape plant communities in the context of disturbances, particularly species invasion and climate change. My research addresses how plant-soil feedbacks change throughout species' ranges and whether they inhibit or enhance plant diversity.
