AboutI love trees, plants, and insects! My friends think I'm all about the bugs since that's where my thesis focused, but truly, I'm most interested in forest ecology and natural resource management.
I am a recent graduate student of the University of Colorado Denver in the Department of Integrative Biology at the Ragland Lab.

I am currently studying Dendroctonus rufipennis, the spruce bark beetle. You may have seen their work in the upper elevation forests in Colorado. I plan to learn much more about them and find ways to help forest management along the way. Previously I've worked with Dendroctonus ponderosae, the mountain pine beetle.
