I’m starting my junior year at UC Santa Cruz as a biology major, focusing on plant biology and ecology. I’m part of the fog team, and one of the leaders of the Pepperwood fire response team. My Earth Stewardship Symposium poster Post-fire recovery of coast redwoods at extreme sites: Pepperwood Preserve case study outlined our plans for integrating the Pepperwood site into our study. Additionally I have begun to consider adding a minor in molecular biology as a way to gain a better understanding of how cellular uptake of available nutrients during development could affect redwood seedling establishment and population dynamics.
