Biology, Tufts University
In 2014 I received an M.S. in Entomology from Michigan State University, where I studied the influence of plant invasion on bee community structure. I then worked as a lab manager at Loyola University, Chicago, where I led research focused on the restoration of Great Lakes coastal wetlands. While I loved wetland work, I realized I wanted to take a deeper dive into basic science, and to focus on a more mechanistic understanding of natural systems. This led me to Tufts University, where I am currently a PhD candidate studying the influence of a novel densovirus on Baltimore checkerspot butterfly population dynamics. My work is very interdisciplinary, and incorporates movement ecology, disease ecology, spatial ecology, population ecology, and chemical ecology.
