I am currently a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Natural Resources and the Environment at the University of New Hampshire. I currently work on biocontrol of the Emerald Ash Borer with the Garnas Lab and the USDA APHIS PPQ office in MA. I received my Ph.D. in December of 2022 from the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EEB) at the University of Connecticut. I worked in the Jockusch lab and previously was part of the Adams lab. My Ph.D. focused on the evolution of termite weapons and how they are used. Most of my fieldwork had been performed in the tropical rainforests of Costa Rica, with a small portion done in Cameroon. See "my work" for more.
