Profile: 

I am an ecologist and entomologist who is passionate about biodiversity and sustainability. I aim to leverage science to gain a greater understanding of pressing environmental stressors and contribute to evidence-based solutions. I have worked in pollinator disease ecology, tropical ecology, climate change, and human-mediated invasive species spread. I work primarily with bees and other pollinating arthropods.
