I am investigating the complex relationship between plant viruses and their arthropod vectors. Many plant viruses are thought to have evolved from insect-infecting viruses through the close relationship between insects and plants.

I aim to support tribal nations in developing culturally relevant, safe, and sustainable food production methods with my work on Bison Production, and Human and Food Safety. My goal is to empower communities with the tools and resources needed to enhance food security, preserve traditional practices, and promote long-term food sovereignty.

My interest lies in developing electronic devices for the early detection of small invasive species. Prior to joining my lab, I was a master’s student in the entomology department at UH. I moved to Hawaii from my home town of Santa Barbara, California.
