I'm a plant systematist interested in phylogeographic patterns in the Pacific Northwest. Currently I'm pursuing my MS at Ohio State University where I research evolutionary dynamics in the Monotropoideae with special focus on the rare plant Pityopus californicus and its sister taxon Hypopitys monotropa.
I've recently returned to Oregon and am developing my knowledge in Carex, Marchantiophyta, and Bryophyta s.s.

Most of my existing botanical knowledge is centered on Pacific Northwest flora, but I also do a bit of botanizing in California, Ohio, and occasionally elsewhere. I'm also a long time mycophile and slime mold lover.

If I've hidden coordinates on an observation you'd like to see, please DM me
