Brief Biography:
I love thinking about food. More specifically, I enjoy thinking about when food is available to insects and how this availability affects insect health and nutrition. Insect pollinators are a great system for my research because we can observe and quantify their food sources–flowers! Insect pollinators visit flowers to collect protein-rich pollen and/or carbohydrate-rich nectar.
