Hello, I am on the faculty of the Forestry Department at Virginia Tech, in Blacksburg, Virginia. My research is in urban forestry and urban soils. My goal is to uncover practical information to improve tree health and canopy cover in urbanizing environments.

Current projects include evaluating a tree-based stormwater management system using engineered soils, modeling soil influence on canopy development and urban ecosystem function, and urban soil rehabilitation.

I am a member of the International Society of Arboriculture Science and Research Committee and the soils committee for the Sustainable Sites Initiative. I have a B.A. from Yale University, a M.S. from Cornell University, and a Ph.D. from Virginia Tech. I am contributing to the modules most closely related to fundamental soil science.
