About Me
Science interests
I have always loved insects. When I was 7 years old I decided I wanted to be an entomologist... and look at me now!
- Systematics, evolution, and behavior of insects
- Blacklighting to capture moths, rearing caterpillars in the lab
- Scientific illustration
- Entomology collection curation
Non-science interests
- I am an avid crossfitter at Crossfit Storrs
- I have several pets including two rabbits, three snakes, one gecko, one salamander, and a bunch of guppies
- If I'm not at school or caring for my pets, I am probably sewing. Since 2007 I have run my sewing business, Weird Bug Lady, on Etsy.com. I make plush toys of insects and other animals.
