I am a first year PhD student studying new ways to represent and estimate forest inventories in multivariate ways. My research interests include spatial statistics, especially as they relate to combining traditional statistical methods with impacts of scale. Reading about new methods is not only my research path, but also something I consider a hobby. My master’s work began this journey and I aim to continue this in the next four years and beyond.

I also work as a GRA at the Office of Innovate Technologies in the Research Computing Support group where I can exercise my interests in GIS and statistics everyday consulting with researchers across the University Tennessee campus to help conduct sound and exciting research.
