ABOUT ME
Presently on the job market, I am searching for a postdoc position in academia, government, or the non-profit sector to continue my research ambitions. In between applications, I am writing manuscripts, working with collaborators, and occasionally indulging in a project in the home or garden. I regularly contribute to the popular entomology Facebook page, Relax. I'm an Entomologist.
