==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 [http://crossfitstorrs.com/ 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, [http://weirdbuglady.com Weird Bug Lady], on Etsy.com. I make plush toys of insects and other animals.
