Education:
B.S. in Biological Sciences, Cornell University (May 2019)
Research Interests:
I am interested in studying global change and pollination ecology in agroecosystems. In my dissertation research, I use computer vision-based tools to investigate the mechanistic effects of anthropogenic stressors such as pesticide exposure and drought on pollinator behavior, health, and efficacy.
Personal Interests:
podcasts, museums, theatre
