I am botanist focused on plant conservation in the western U.S. I serve as Director of Conservation Programs at California Botanic Garden (formerly Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden) and Research Assistant Professor of Botany at Claremont Graduate University. My primary research focus is in plant conservation, rarity and endemism, plant systematics (Phrymaceae), rare plants, and floristics. I work primarily in the Mojave Desert, Transverse Ranges, and southern Sierra Nevada in California, but I am broadly interested in the flora of western North America.
