I am an undergraduate researcher at Cornell University studying entomology and ecology. My research interests include the ecological impacts of light pollution, the biology and ecology of invasive species, and anything involving bird-insect interactions.

​

I have worked on a variety of different projects in the Department of Entomology and at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Past experiences include working with neotropical katydid vocalizations in the Bioacoustics Research Program, traveling to the heart of the Costa Rican rainforest with the Cornell Ecotourism Club, working as a field technician for PhD student Colleen Miller's project researching how light pollution impacts chickadee behavior, and working as a field technician at Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest through the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's Hubbard Brook Field Ornithology Program.

​

My current projects are my Honors Thesis research on the impact of light pollution on caterpillar predation from other arthropods, curating and cataloguing odonate specimens in the Cornell University Insect Collection, and mapping range expansion of invasive species with iNaturalist.
