Research Experience

​

Impact of seagrass species diversity on plant resilience, plant resistance, and herbivore activity: University of Florida, 2019-Present

Investigate the effects of seagrass species diversity on the response of seagrass to multiple disturbances (grazing and warming temperatures) as well as the effects of seagrass species diversity on habitat use and consumption (Graduate research).

 

Using interactive activities focused on seagrass ecosystems to teach children about marine conservation and trophic ecology: Gainesville, FL, 2018-2019

Lead lessons and activities at afterschool science clubs, using surveys to analyze changes in student knowledge and understanding of seagrass ecology (Outreach project).

 

Effects of multiple stressors on plant-herbivore interactions: University of Florida, 2018-19

Investigate the effects of P addition, increased temperature, and herbivory on Thalassia testudinum physiology and herbivore interactions (Graduate research).

 

Turbidity and light availability as drivers of fish feeding behavior: Skidmore College, 2016-17

Study effects of turbidity and light availability on Blacknose Dace prey consumption and feeding behavior (Independent capstone research).

 

Invasive species in the Finger Lakes: Hobart and William Smith Colleges, Summer 2015 and 2016

Investigate the effectiveness of two light-based trap designs for the collection of Hemimysis anomala through various field and laboratory experiments (Research fellow).
