PMRC Research Coordinator and Analytical Field Crew Leader With experience in Brazil focused on increasing forest productivity and sustainability through ecophysiology, hydrology, and the management of native and planted forests, I have developed tools to optimize planting areas based on environmental conditions. I currently coordinate a broad portfolio of field research across various regions of the United States through the Plantation Management and Research Cooperative (PMRC) at the University of Georgia. I am actively involved in committees that develop methodologies for carbon quantification and forest growth assessment, reflecting my commitment to sustainable forestry practices at both local and international levels.
