ABOUt
Entomologist and educator, specialized in melittology (the study of bees), insect biodiversity, and education, including Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) research. My current research interests are best described as integrating traditional standards within entomological research with the SoTL. I aim to identify best practices in research and teaching, and develop accessible resources promoting them for scientists, educators, and other stakeholders, to enhance and advance the field of entomology as a whole.
