Ph.D. Candidate. Entomology, Mississippi State University. Biogeography of the genus Phytometra (Erebidae).
Research Interests:
My research is focused on understanding the biogeographical history of prairie endemics, such as Phytometra ernestinana. I plan to look at population groups in the prairies to look at genetic exchange and population size limits, in effort to better understand the conservation needs for population stability.
My work at the Museum entails the curation of the Macrolepidoptera, bark beetle surveys, and various collection projects to further enhance the museum collection.
Other areas of interest include charcoal identification from Southeastern archaeological sites and the impact of humans on prehistoric landscapes.
