Postdoctoral scholar, NJ, Agricultural Entomology Unit
Presentation
I graduated with a PhD in Ecology from the University of California, Davis in September 2025. I am broadly interested in conservation in working lands, and in the past, have focused on biodiversity conservation in agricultural landscapes. With my postdoc scholarship, I hope to expand my understanding of agricultural ecology to plants, arthropods, and soil while using ecological theory to understand yield outcomes and design policy recommendations.
