Outreach

A poster I made for my presentation on plant-fungal interactions at a local brewery

And here's me doing my presentation at the brewery. I was also the first graduate student to give a talk in this series in years.

I can't show a picture of the kids, but I talked to a local elementary school about invasive species. We did an activity where we made flower crowns with non-native plants and flowers

I started this program where Biology department members were encouraged to attend and wear an Aloha shirt to the weekly seminar, in order to win a loaf of sourdough (baked by yours truly)

I am passionate about data science and helping people learn it, so I have volunteered and even led multiple data science trainings to diverse audiences - librarians at the Smithsonian and undergraduates/graduates/faculty at NAU. I am currently working on beginning a Carpentries program at NAU to further this.

After winning a prize for my presentations at ICOM 2024 from the journal Functional Ecology, I wrote a blog article about my experience in science.

I love mentoring students, and I recently published a peer-reviewed publication with a student who I designed and completed an experiment with.
