Aspiring botanist and ecologist. Working on my BS in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from the the University of Tennessee Knoxville where I am working in a molecular plant systematics lab with Dr. Ed Schilling. Current projects include an exploration of Arisaema triphyllum and its subspecies & a recently funded study of the rare Lobelia gattingeri. Love big trees with cones and tiny plants with intricate flowers. Really any form a life I find interesting!
