I am a graduate student studying entomology, with a focus on honey bee reproductive biology. My research explores the effect of genetic relatedness on sperm use and population dynamics.My expertise includes literature reviews, coordinating experimental trials to generate data for analysis, and summarizing research information. I am also an expert in industrial health and safety. My goal is to use this expertise in future research as an academic professional.I am described as a self-motivated, detail-oriented team player with a focus on inclusivity. I approach every adversity with critical thinking and an open mind.My background in agriculture (growing up on an orchard), biochemistry and entomology make me a valuable asset for pollinator health research and applicable solutions to the global decline of honey bee populations.My hobbies include running, skiing, reading and embroidery.
