GET TO KNOW ME
​
I’m Beth, a conservation ecologist.

My work focuses on the conservation of biodiversity in the Neotropics through the lens of both spatial and community ecology. Research during my Master's and Ph.D. focused on improving our understanding of the distribution of biodiversity, which is a fundamental step for setting spatial conservation priorities.

I have also collaborated on other developing projects including Wallace, a flexible new software aimed at making species distribution modeling more accessible and reproducible for conservation practitioners.

My current position at Yale University serves to support and further develop the Map of Life project, which aims to enhance effective biodiversity monitoring, research, and decision making by advancing our knowledge about species distributions and their changing dynamics globally.
