Short Bio

The natural world holds many wonders in my eyes. Exploring them through various lenses is what I enjoy doing. I was the lab manager for the Hulcr lab. I made sure that projects are on a forward trajectory, helped manage the bark and ambrosia beetle collection, and helped my colleagues along the way. My interests are in community ecology, especially in understanding how dynamics within natural and modified systems work like the symbiosis between bark beetles and fungi. Along with this understanding, spreading the knowledge and bringing awareness to people about these problems and their possible solutions is something I value.
