BS Environmental Science (Highest Honors), Emory University

  • Adviser: Berry Brosi
  • Thesis: Impacts of Forest Fragmentation on Species Diversity of Orchid Bees (Apidae: Euglossini) in the Chocó Biodiversity Hotspot of Northwest Ecuador

    • Research Interests:

    I am particularly interested in the forces that shape species interactions and community dynamics. I love the breadth of work conducted in our lab and working with our graduate students! In addition to my work with the Brosi lab, I have spent the last two summers in Mývatn, Iceland studying the population dynamics and trophic relationships of midges.
