I’m currently a PhD candidate in Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior at the University of Texas at Austin, co-advised by Dr. Shalene Jha and Dr. Felicity Muth. My research focuses on how anthropogenic stressors, particularly insecticides, impact bee behavior and reproductive success, and I am also very passionate about how ecology shapes insect cognition. I earned my B.S. in Entomology with minors in Cognitive Science and Education from Cornell University in 2020.
