​My research focuses on two main areas: evolutionary ecology of plant mating systems and conservation biology.  I am interested in reproductive processes in plant populations, and there are three main questions that drive my research:
1) What are the processes that generate and maintain variation in plant mating systems?
2) How do ecological and genetic factors interact to influence the mating system as well as male and female fitness?
3) How do shifts in the pollinator community or loss of pollinator services affect plant mating patterns?

My research focuses on understanding how patterns of flower deployment influence plant mating in monkeyflower (Mimulus ringens). This work is especially important in the face of climate change because plants' response to altered environmental conditions results in novel flowering times and patterns.
