As of July 2016, I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Oregon State University My research interests include insect ecology, pollinators, and predator-prey interactions. I have experience in researching and developing Integrated Pest Management practices in cucurbits and brassica. My studies in urban neighborhoods investigated how characteristics of the urban landscape impact bees and their subsequent visits to native wildflowers and managed crops. I've recently completed a study on biological control of cabbage worms and natural enemies in urban agriculture. I intend to defend my dissertation in May 2016.
