I'm a Ph.D. student here at Duke working with Rob Jackson. Previously, I completed my BA and MA under the tutelage of Adrien Finzi at Boston Univeristy. I entered the University Program in Ecology in the Fall of 2004, and I hope to graduate around 2009. The point of this website is to illustrate some of my research ideas and plans, which focus on biogeochemistry and microbial dynamics in soils (see research pages for more info). Please feel free to send me an email if you have any questions.
