I am a postdoctoral scientist working with John Lill at George Washington University. I am currently researching the ways that cicada outbreaks shift forest herbivore communities.
My graduate research focused on tritrophic interactions between plants, herbivorous insects, and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). Specifically, I worked on the conditionality of this plant-fungus mutualism, and the biotic and abiotic factors that shape the plant’s susceptibility and resistance strategies to herbivory.
