Hello! I am an ecologist and entomologist interested in wild bee physiology and ecology, plant-pollinator interactions, conservation, and climate change. I received my B.A. in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from the University of Colorado, Boulder in 2024, where I completed an honors thesis with Dr. Julian Resasco. I am currently a postbaccalaureate scholar in the NSF-RaMP program at the University of Kansas.  Under the mentorship of Dr. Victor Gonzalez, I am investigating how bee body size is linked to thermal tolerance using a novel approach of photogrammetry and 3D modeling.
