Research Interests
I am broadly interested in agroecosystem diversification and how research can work in tandem with other forms of knowledge and expertise to build capacity for enhanced multifunctionality in agricultural systems. Prior research has focused on the intersection of cover crops and soil health. Currently, I am working with growers, researchers, advisers and non-profits to develop a set of best management practices for integrating cover crops into almond orchards.
