Excited to present my defense seminar this week!!

Happy Valentine’s Day to friends, family, and loved ones! I get to play percussion once more with other talented science PhD students and grads tonight! Y’all are appreciated and loved 🥰

The Christmas cactus is in bloom! Quick photo to capture my camera-shy cat 🐈‍⬛ 💚🎄🌿 the plant was a split that my late grandma had in her house since before I was born. It’s the first time in two years that it’s bloomed!

Last day at the wasp exhibit, had to do at least a little costume :) #WaspLove

My cat wants to participate in writing my dissertation, but likes to add spaces in all of my documents. This little box with padding on top of the printer allows her to feel involved without additional keystrokes 💙 🐈‍⬛🌿🐝 (we need a #wasp emoji!)

Beefy friends :)

“Wasps of Utah” exhibit is set up! If you’re near Park City, UT come check it out at Swaner Preserve & EcoCenter 😁
#WaspLove #insects 🌿

Packed up the wasp exhibit to set up at Swaner EcoCenter in Park City, UT! And taking many plant propagations to give to friends :)

Bombus huntii 🌼🐝 on some rubber rabbit bush. There must be a colony nearby, there are plenty of these little ladies out and about!

When you get to campus super early and the hallway lights don’t turn on for you in the basement… #SpookySeason 👻🎃

#Introductions Hi! I’m a PhD candidate hoping to defend soon on wasp systematics, biogeography, behavioral evolution, and public perception. Job hunting as I finish the dissertation and teaching.
