I am a graduate student interested in environmental stressors and food webs, specifically the role of drought in riverine networks. My research will focus on how drought affects metacommunity stability using field experiments and time series modeling. My previous research includes modeling habitat suitability for an invasive wetland plant as well as modeling environmental gentrification in Chicago. While my undergraduate work was in both freshwater ecology and economics, I am excited to study stream communities in the Ruhi Lab!
