Research Interests: 

I am broadly interested in the insect community ecology and evolution of urban areas! Specifically I am curious how mutualisms facilitate and support biodiversity in resource-poor and stressed systems, and in general I am a HUGE nerd for all aspects of desert ecology and cultural entomology. As a first year student I am in BRIDGES, where I am excited to learn more interdisciplinary skills to both ask and answer my research questions. Outside research I am passionate about science communication through all avenues, and am a scientific illustrator (and scientific knitter...ask me about it!!).
