Amanda Asay
Amanda was born and raised in Prince George. She completed a PhD with Suzanne Simard in November 2019, after completing a Master of Science under her supervision in the fall of 2013. Her scientific interests during her time at UBC’s Faculty of Forestry were focused on kin recognition/ selection in interior Douglas-fir and the role mycorrhizal networks play in that interaction. Amanda is currently working in Nelson with the research section at FLNRORD looking at long term silvicultural systems trials and the effects over time on carbon, timber and other values associated with those forests.
