Biography:

When I was 5 years old I told my parents I wanted to be an entomologist. Fast-forward 20 years, I am still as passionate and intrigued by insects as I was back when I just started Kindergarten. I think it's amazing how diverse, unique, and important they are! Other activities I enjoy include photography, composing music, singing, and spending time outdoors.
