I am currently a Ph.D. Candidate at Northern Illinois University, pursuing my degree in Physical Geography with an emphasis in conservation biogeography. I conduct my research in a previously temperate oak savanna ecosystem at Nachusa Grasslands, a Nature Conservancy restoration project in Ogle and Lee Counties, IL. One of the objectives of my Ph.D. project is to better understand the spatial and temporal dispersal patterns of the invasive species, Amur honeysuckle. I am also exploring how local seasonal light and soil conditions are influenced by Amur honeysuckle. In the end, I hope to inform conservation management strategies that will enhance white oak reproduction and recruitment.
