My research focuses on the management and long-term impacts of forest diseases in the Lake States. I hold a M.S. in Plant Pathology and am particularly interested in how oak wilt, a devastating disease on oaks, influences forest succession and affects oak regeneration. One of the things that I love about my research is that the scale varies from DNA all the way to whole forests. I spend most of my spare time wrangling my kids, but I also love to read and cook when I find the time.
