About

I am currently working with Dr. Julie Peterson and Dr. John Ruberson studying both beneficial and pestiferous insect communities in agricultural and natural Nebraska landscapes. This research seeks to improve the application of conservation biological control in the agroecosystem, and to identify avenues of influence from the landscape on beneficial insects. I hope to use my interest in insect interactions to further awareness and conservation of insect biodiversity and to use my passion to communicate their importance in the ecological recovery of our crop fields.
