Bio
As Program Manager at the Southeast Climate Adaptation Science Center (SE CASC), I connect climate and land use science to relevant stakeholders by facilitating research on natural and cultural resources and communicating important findings so that partners can make climate-smart management and adaptation decisions. SE CASC is a federal-university partnership hosted at NC State, whose mission is to deliver science to help fish, wildlife, water, land, and people adapt to a changing climate.
I also coordinate precipitation monitoring sites in North Carolina as part of the National Atmospheric Deposition Program National Trends Network.
I’ve worked on a broad range of research focused on issues related to atmosphere-biosphere interactions and environmental sustainability while at NCSU. I received an MS in Forest Ecology from Duke and BA in Biology from Cornell.
