Bio:
I fell in love with the Pacific Northwest during my undergraduate studies at Humboldt State University. I worked in conservation and restoration ecology for various government agencies and non-profits for five years before coming to OSU, and I am excited for this new chapter in my education. Outside of school, I love cooking, volunteering with local non-profits, and playing outside!
Research Interests:
My research concerns native bee health in early successional coniferous forests, specifically how characteristics of early-seral timber forest landscapes impact bumble bee populations.
Major Professor: Dr. Jim Rivers
