She did her B.Sc.H. in Environmental Biology at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, and her M.S. and Ph.D. in Soil Science at Cornell University. After doing a postdoc at the University of California-Berkeley, she began her position at UW-Madison in 2016. Her lab uses stable isotope tracing and probing, gas flux measurements, and microbial community characterization approaches to answer questions about terrestrial carbon biogeochemistry, soil microbial ecology, and climate change.
