Sustainability Leadership Fellowship Cohort: 2013-2014

Ph.D. Candidate, Department of Biology

Research Summary: I have always been interested in science. I have an undergraduate degree in ecology and evolution, a master’s in Geosciences and soon I’ll have a PhD in Ecology. For my dissertation, I’m investigating how climate change will impact grassland ecosystems. But my research experiences have ranged from bacteria to elephants deserts to rain forests and the lab to the field. I believe this broad interdisciplinary training has given me a better perspective to tackle my research questions.
