Entomology Ph.D. student at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa studying moth phylogenetics, systematics, and taxonomy. I am especially interested in Tortricidae. I also like native Hawaiian plants!

In my free time I like rock climbing, playing basketball & ultimate frisbee, volunteering, hiking, music, and just generally being outdoors.

I am originally from Chattanooga, Tennessee (USA). I earned my B.S. in Biology from Davidson College (North Carolina, USA) in 2018 and my M.S. in Entomology from Cornell University (New York, USA) in 2020.
