I am a plant ecophysiologist, interested in how plants deal with water stress through adaptation. This interest has taken me from my graduate work in the Colorado Rockies to the dry Sierra Nevada in California, to the high Andes. Throughout I've also been passionate about student-centered teaching, learning about the different forms this may take at each of the institutions that I've taught, and eventually leading me to my current position here at ECU.
