I am a community ecologist who combines empirical and theoretical approaches to research how environmental conditions and species interactions combine to structure diversity. I use a range of systems including plants, plankton and nematodes to test and refine ecological theory.

I am currently a Lecturer in Ecology at Griffith University in beautiful Brisbane, Australia. Previously, I was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Queensland, where I worked with Margie Mayfield to understand how dormancy contributes to coexistence. Before moving to Australia, I worked at the University of California San Diego with Jonathan Shurin where I tested how trophic interactions mediate the assembly of novel communities. I completed my PhD work on community dynamics in zooplankton under the supervision of Ben Gilbert in the Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology at the University of Toronto.
