Hi! I am a graduate student in the plant biology PhD program. My research is focused on restoration of tallgrass prairies and community ecology. The specific question my research addresses is: What part do underground seed banks (native prairie seeds naturally stored in the soil) play in the restoration of old pastures and hayfields?

One of the great benefits of being a biologist is that I get to spend time outside - in lots of cool places like Cameroon (Africa), Brazil and different ecosystems in the U.S. This picture of me was on a controlled burn of a prairie. Controlled burns are one of the tools land managers use to restore and manage prairie ecosystems.
Looking forward to a great semester!
