Bio

I am interested in the interaction between insects and the environment, and how insect diversity and distribution impact ecosystem services.

Education

I am a graduate student completing a MS degree in the 4+1 Biology program, and I have been working in the Martins lab since December 2022. My thesis work involves studying the relationships between insect diversity, species occupancy and the phylogeography of Sceloporus lizards.

Employment

I am currently working in ASU's Natural History Collections on the project Extending Anthophila research through image and trait digitization (Big-Bee).

As part of our ongoing specimen digitization project, the ASU Insect Collections are capturing label data and generating high-resolution images for over 10,000 bee specimens. Big-Bee connects the public and researchers through the community science platform Notes from Nature, GloBI, and the Big Bee Bonanza project, to crowd-source image data transcription and trait measurements.
