I am a botanist with extensive experience in field botany, floristics, and herbarium & botanical garden curation.

I am currently investigating how climate change throughout the Anthropocene has impacted the timing of flowering, fruiting and other plant traits over time and space, and what this change means for connections with other organisms and processes (including phenological mismatches between plants and herbivores, pollinators, and interactions with humans).

I collect botanical data derived from natural history collections, living collections, and archival records, combined with methods in citizen and community science. 

Current projects include:
