Profile Summary

I am a researcher with a PhD in insect science and ecology with over 8 years of experience in insect research, academic writing, publishing, and grant procurement. My research interests span impacts of land use and climate change on beneficial aquatic and terrestrial insects. I also work broadly with complex biological and environmental datasets, have extensive expertise in data processing and analysis, and enjoy science communication and public education. As an entomologist, I also love answering your insect-related questions (including identifying insects)! Reach out with your questions and let's plan a consultation.
