Welcome to my homepage!  I am a currently a PhD candidate working with Emily Minor at the University of Illinois at Chicago. I completed a Masters in Entomology with Russ Groves at the University of Wisconsin and a Bachelors in Biology at Macaulay Honors College at the City University of New York-Lehman College. 

My research interests include insect ecology, pollinators, and predator-prey interactions. I have studied pollination services across Chicago neighborhoods and how characteristics of the urban landscape impact bees and their subsequent visits to native wildflowers and managed crops. Currently, I am investigating biological control of cabbage worms and natural enemies in urban agriculture.
