Hello!

I am currently an ecologist and program manager with the National Park Service's Inventory and Monitoring Division. I lead the long-term monitoring program of aquatic and terrestrial resources in national parks covered by the Northeast Temperate Network based in Woodstock, VT.  

I have worked on projects examining the ecology and management of native and invasive insects and plants, demographic effects of weather and climate on insect population dynamics, disturbance ecology of forest ecosystems, and more recently on population and community ecology of songbirds.  

You can find the full list of my research projects on my ResearchGate and Google Scholar profiles.

Research Interests

• Biology, ecology, and management of insects and non-native plants.

• Spatio-temporal population dynamics.

• Biological Control

Recent research

  •  Forest bird monitoring in northeastern US national parks
  • Forest health monitoring in northeastern US national parks
  • Using recorders to assist with bird monitoring in forest ecosystems
  • Population ecology of invasive plants and insects
