I’m thrilled to have been featured in the latest Nature Careers article describing my transition for academia to a scientific role at American Forests, an environmental NGO. nature.com/articles/d4158…

On Friday, I successfully defended my dissertation! I've been incredibly fortunate to have so many people supporting me throughout this chapter of my life. It's been a wonderful six years, and I am truly excited for what's ahead!
