Summary of Research
I am interested in many fields of science, including theoretical ecology, community ecology, marine science, computational musicology, and data science. My current research focuses on studying what properties of ecosystems make them resistant to disturbances, or make them stable under changing conditions.

Awards
In the fall of 2024, I received an NSF Integrated Data Science certificate.
During the fall of 2023, on entering grad school, I received a one-year NSF Integrated Data Science Fellowship to support my participation in the Interdisciplinary Quantitative Biology certificate program. I also received a Colorado Diversity Initiative Fellowship from the University of Colorado.
In December of 2022, I graduated from Amherst College cum laude with degrees in Biology and Music, as well as a certificate in Coastal and Marine Science.
My first paper, entitled A doubling of stony coral cover on shallow forereefs at Carrie Bow Cay, Belize from 2014 to 2019, in Scientific Reports, 19185 (2021), was highlighted as an Editor's Choice by the journal.
