I grew up in a small island town on the Gulf coast of Florida and moved to Illinois for college. My favorite plant is the bald cypress tree because it reminds me of home. I enjoy being outdoors, painting, reading and learning about plants! I’m interested in studying plant genetics, pathways, and interactions and how they affect the ecosystem as a whole.

An overview of my project investigating the effects of inter- and intraspecific competition on morphological and architectural plastic root responses in restoration relevant plants native to the Colorado Plateau and how they affect soil components and mycorrhizal associations.
