I received a PhD in Biology (2012) from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where I worked with Dr. Gene Robinson on the molecular basis of social evolution in bees. From 2013-2015 I was a USDA-NIFA Postdoctoral Fellow working on the nutritional ecology of bumble bees with Dr. Shalene Jha at the University of Texas at Austin. In summer 2015, I became an Assistant Professor of Entomology at the University of California, Riverside. I am broadly interested in native bee ecology, evolution, and social behavior, and in identifying the underlying mechanisms that allow bees to plastically respond the their environments, and ultimately persist on our rapidly-changing planet.
