Welcome!
I am a disturbance ecologist interested in environmental data science and the ways we quantify, think about and understand abiotic and biotic disturbances in forest ecosystems. I am currently a PhD Student at the Instiute of Forestry and Conservation at the University of Toronto under the supervision of Patrick M.A. James and Marie-Josée Fortin.
My research leverages large spatial and temporal datasets through remote sensing and other publicly available sources to understand the causes and consequences of spatial and temporal variation in wildfire burn severity. Head over to my research page to learn more.

I was lucky to spend a week learning about structural equation modelling with applications in ecology from Dr. Bill Shipley at the University of Sherbrooke. I will be writing a blog post soon about my experience - stay tuned!

I recently presented some work on the effects of snowmelt timing on wildfire burn severity in the boreal forest at the annual meeting for the North American chapter of IALE in Riverside, USA.

New paper out in Forests! We show that for some species in Western North America, climate change was beneficial to growth patterns primarily at the northernmost extent of these species’ ranges. These results also highlight the spatio-temporal complexity of growth response to recent global climate change. Link
