Hello!
I’m a soil scientist interested in how we can make the best land management decisions possible for soil carbon sequestration, climate resilience and ecosystem function. I’m currently a 4th year PhD cadidate at Colorado State University working with Dr. Keith Paustian. My research focuses on ecological impacts of solar energy and the effects of integrating regenerative grazing to reduce land-use tension between energy and agriculture and improve the environmental outcomes of renewable energy. When I’m not in the field or the lab, I’m usually trail running, backpacking, or playing in the mountains. Thanks for stopping by!
