About Me
I am a graduate student undertaking my Phd at the University of Toronto, Faculty of Forestry. I have had a long-standing interest in plants and plant ecology of tropical rainforests ever since my first opportunity to visit a tropical rainforest in the south of Mexico.
My research interests are broad but centre primarily on the natural history of shrubby and herbaceous plants (seedling ecology, growth habits, ethnobotany) with a focus of plant-plant and plant-animal interactions (primarily pollination biology). I am fascinated by the host of interactions between organisms, such as mutualisms and symbioses, and how these interactions may have co-evolved.
