I write code and build tools to turn biodiversity data into conservation and science insights. As part of the eBird Status and Trends team at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, I help develop species distribution models to estimate the occurrence, abundance, and population trends of bird species at a high spatiotemporal resolution using data generated by the citizen-science project eBird. I work on all facets of this project, from model testing and development to visualization of model results.

To ensure eBird data are widely and correctly used in science and conservation, I produce data products, build open source tools, develop educational resources, and teach workshops.
