I am a USDA NIFA Postdoctoral Fellow working with Scott McArt at Cornell University. I am broadly interested in agroecology, pollination ecology, and conservation biology. My current research investigates when and where honey bee competition impacts native bee fitness and explores the temporal dynamics of pathogen transmission in plant-pollinator-pathogen networks.

I completed my Ph.D. in Entomology at the University of California, Davis, working with Neal Williams. For my dissertation, I studied how honey bee competition impacts plant-pollinator mutualisms and examined whether diverse and nutritious wildflower plantings in almond orchards can mitigate negative effects of resource competition.
