Researchers

I had the pleasure of “being raised” in the Forestry department at UF. I began my undergrad in 2018, and I graduated from UF in the Summer of 2022. Soon after, I was picked up by Scott Sager, and began working for SFFGS. A couple of good connections led me to Dr. Hulcr’s lab, and I now get to contribute to fostering the growth of future forest scientists and professionals!

Prior to entering the Forest Entomology lab, I did not have any entomology experience. But I have gathered a wide range of interest in topics like forestry, outdoor recreation, sustainable building and design, social science, videography, artificial intelligence, and more. I feel right at home in a lab full of people with similarly diverse interests.

During my time as lab manager, I am hoping to complete my Master’s Degree through the Employee Education Program, starting in the Fall of 2024.
