Bio

My research centers on the evolution, phylogeny, and physiology of the Pyrophorini (Coleoptera: Elateridae). As an undergraduate, I worked on a phylogenetic revision of this beetle tribe, and I am continuing this work at NCSU. I also worked at the Monte L. Bean Museum, curating Coleoptera and Odonata for the museum’s collection and creating exhibits centered around insects.
