I am a 4th-year doctoral student studying pollination biology at Cornell University. I am interested in factors affecting wild bee performance in agriculture. I received my undergraduate degree in in Zoology and Spanish at the University of Wyoming. My career goal is to use my passion for science and nature to inspire others, both locally and globally. I want to share my interest in insects, ecology, and their impacts on humanity with colleagues, policy makers, and especially the community so we can learn and grow together to improve our world.
