About me: |
I am a broadly trained ecologist who focuses on research that answers questions aimed at understanding how anthropogenic land-use change and land management decisions influence biodiversity, specifically concerning arthropoda. I received my masters from the University of Nebraska Omaha and my doctorate from Oklahoma State University. I'm currently working as a postdoctoral fellow in conservation, education, and science at OKC Zoo researching pollinators in urban environments.
When I am not in the field or the lab, I volunteer for multiple organizations at local, regional, and national levels aimed at increasing STEM opportunities, providing feedback for young scientists, and using data to better the world. |
