I recently had the opportunity to present my research on native bee host interactions at Santa Rosa Junior College’s Advanzando conference with funding from the NSF!! The poster is linked below, but if you love bees (or at least the ecosystem services they provide), here’s the summary ⬇️

I like talking about our awesome planet, doing engineering, and making music. And of course, DRAGONS!!!🐉🐉🐉
Nature is my tripod :)

Native bee research is the bomb—those little pollinators are ecosystem MVPs!

I'm a little teapot who didn't fill out my bio

Yes dude, they’re so important!! I love studying species important to ecosystems. I’m studying seagrass rn. They provide juvenile fish nurseries, pollution filtration, nutriebt cycling, carbon storage, and so much more :)
