Ask me about...

Creating an exhibit, hosting an event in the museum building, or using our natural history collections. I’m also happy to talk about any general museum-related or insect-related topics!

Before COA

I’m originally from Ann Arbor, Michigan. I earned my B. S. in natural resources from the University of Michigan and my M. S. in entomology from the University of Maine at Orono. For my masters thesis I explored the pathogen inhibiting behaviors of the European fire ant, Myrmica rubra, which is invasive along the Maine coast. I have also done freelance illustration and exhibit fabrication work for a variety of clients.

What else?

I also regularly teach courses including Introductory Entomology, Zoological Field Sketching, and Tropical Entomology. I have co-taught Museum Practicum, Acts and Arts of Collecting, the Art and Science of the Natural History Field Journal, and the Human Ecology Core Course.
