Picture

My broad research interests revolve around nutrient dynamics in freshwater ecosystems. Previously, I focused my research on a combination of nutrient cycling, stream ecology, and invertebrate ecology. While at UW-Madison, I am hoping to study the relationships among tributary discharge and nutrient loads relative to patterns of land use and coastal ecosystem services in Lake Michigan.
