Growing up hiking and swimming in southern British Columbia, I have always been interested in learning about the natural world around me which led me to complete an undergraduate biology honours degree with an ecology emphasis. I am interested in the interplay between plant species and their environment, particularly the ecological impact of invasive weeds. I am deeply honoured to join the Indigenous Ecology Lab and work with Dr. Grenz to pursue scientific research which makes a positive difference in the world.
Swimming, hiking, skating, sewing, lifeguarding
Working with a diverse network of farmers, NGOs, and academics from diverse backgrounds, my research investigates ecological co-benefits of hedgerows. Specifically, my research investigates methods of hedgerow establishment and the impact of hedgerow introduction on weeds. This study aims to inform methods for hedgerow introduction as well as investigating co-benefits to encourage their introduction on farms. I am excited to study the establishment and ecological co-benefits of hedgerows to provide a robust scientific basis for hedgerow establishment and ecological co-benefits.
