Biography:



I am originally from Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA. I graduated from Davidson College in 2018 with a B.S. in biology and from Cornell University in 2020 with an M.S. in entomology where my thesis focused on the Archipini (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) of the Caribbean. I am now a Ph.D. student at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa where I am focusing on developing molecular tools to identify imported tortricids of agricultural importance as well as working on the taxonomy and systematics of native Hawaiian tortricids.

Moths are my primary interest, but I would like to become a more well-rounded naturalist. I also enjoy rock climbing, basketball, ultimate frisbee, and pretty much all kinds of music.

Want a real challenge? Here are some of my "most wanted" moths. These ones have stumped me, but I continue to puzzle over them. If you recognize any of them, please let me know.
