I am an environmental scientist, an sustainability professional, and a huge data geek. I started learning to program in R in 2015, and have some additional experience in UNIX/LINUX, bash/zsh, SQL, and Python (minimal but increasing!).
- 🔭 I’m currently working on analyzing data to examine the effect of changing water and nitrogen availability on dry ecosystems.
- 🌱 I’m learning more about SQL, Docker, and Python by the minute.
- 👯 I’m looking to collaborate on research related to ecosystem structure-function or to develop better open science/data practices.
- 💬 Ask me about some of my research, the importance of sandwiches to my mental well-being, or why diet Coke is clearly superior.

- ⚡ Fun fact: I hiked the southern thousand miles of the Appalachian Trail.
Some past projects:
- 🌳 sagebrush - a research publication examing the ability to use nitrogen fertilization in rangeland mitigation (code)
- 📜 mapping - a simple script for creating a locus map with site locations as a PDF or PNG.
- 📊 climate normals - a RMarkdown file for teaching students to calculate their own climate normals and creating a Walter-Lieth diagram using the {climatol} package.
