Agricultural pollination and
Non-managed pollinator ecology
I am a senior Entomology and Nematology student in the College of Agricultural Life Sciences at the University of Florida. My minor is Organic and Sustainable Crop Production and I aspire to work in the agriculture sector to foster wild bee diversity in food-production landscapes. I also had the opportunity to travel to Greece to conduct research on pollinator thermal ecology, temperature stressed pollination dynamics, and bee diversity through the National Science Foundation. I am conducting research analyzing plant-pollinator interaction networks in the UF Teaching Garden. As I graduate from the University of Florida, I am pursuing a career in wild bee conservation and sustainable food production on a global scale.
WHERE THERE ARE FLOWERS, THERE ARE BEES
ABOUT ME
My academic and personal passions include wild and native bee conservation, sustainable food production, environmental justice, and intersectional environmentalism. I'm originally from San Francisco, where my curiosity about insects, especially bees, began. I have pursued my interest in pollination ecology from California, to Florida, to Greece. Bee populations maintain plant and crop diversity, which sustains human populations, and climate change impacts all three. This is an interdisciplinary and international problem I am passionate about. I love traveling, spending time outside, being with friends, reading, and taking photos of bees.
