Biography:

Arachnologist, entomologist, and ambassador for the creepy crawlies of the world. I volunteer with the Natural History Museum of Utah and am involved with several citizen science initiatives. In addition to enjoying arthropods outside, my family has an ever-growing collection of them inside—each of which is a beloved pet. As a former educator, I enjoy helping people reduce their fears through increased knowledge and fun encounters!
