Master's student
Northwestern University and Chicago Botanic Garden

I am a first-year Master's student researching the genetic changes associated with the use of multi-source seed lots in Penstemon pachyphyllus used for restorations. I am broadly interested in ecological restoration, seed biology, and insect pollinators. Outside of the lab, I enjoy being outdoors (of course ?), cooking, reading, and hanging out with my cat.
