Insect ecology in agroecosystems

Current projects
I am currently working with
Dr. Christian Krupke to investigate the non-target impacts of pesticide drift on beneficial insects, like pollinators and predatory insects, which are common in agricultural systems. Ultimately, I hope to gain a better understanding of how chemical inputs impact insect communities and what this means for the management of biodiversity in agroecosystems.

Welcome! Join me in exploring the dynamic
interactions between insects, plants & the environment, with particular emphasis on the relationship between insect biodiversity and ecosystem services in agricultural settings.
