Professionally - I am a Research Entomologist with the USDA-ARS Pollinating Insect Research Unit in Logan, Utah. I am broadly interested in conservation biology and population genetics, specializing on bee pollinators. During my Master’s program, I applied species distribution modeling techniques and geographic information systems to over 50 000 natural history and contemporary specimen records to estimate bumble bee decline in the United States. In my Ph.D. I investigated patterns in bumble bee genetic diversity in the intermountain west.
