Research Interests

 I am interested in how urbanization and land-use configuration across urban-rural gradients affect songbird ecology, nesting, and behavior. I investigate these systems by synthesizing theory and methods from conservation, behavioral, and landscape ecology, along with citizen science and outreach.
