I’m broadly interested in forest and fire ecology, particularly how research in these fields can inform management of western forests to restore natural disturbance regimes. Prior to joining the lab, I earned my M.S. from Utah State University, where I studied the influence of quaking aspen on fire behavior and the flammability of surface and canopy fuels in aspen and mixed aspen-conifer forests.
