Hello! I am an ecologist and evolutionary biologist interested in how organisms and populations respond to rapid human-caused environmental change, and how human and non-human organisms and systems relate to and affect each other through collaborative and transdisciplinary work.
Currently, I am a Zuckerman Post-doctoral scholar at Ben Gurion University of the Negev, jointly supervised by Oded Berger-Tal and Uri Roll. Here, I am looking at how human settlements affect biodiversity and interspecies interactions in arid environments.
I previously completed my PhD at UCLA in Dr. Pamela Yeh’s lab, looking at how populations respond to multiple stressor interactions.
In addition to research and teaching, I also contribute scientific perspectives to transdisciplinary art and design. I am the Associate Director of the Counterforce Lab, fostering interconnections between the human and more-than-human amongst a group of designers, artists, and thinkers.
