I graduated!! Endless gratitude to my PhD advisor, Dr. Anjel Helms @HelmsLab, who is an amazing scientist/mentor/friend/colleague. Very thankful for a great experience at @tamuentomology. In January, I will start a postdoc with @karinburghardt @plantinsectppl at @UMDEntomology!










Very honored to be recognized at this awards ceremony and grateful to be a part of Texas A&M AgriLife! Thank you!










Through @AggieResearch, I mentored a team of undergrads and we wondered if root-feeding insects affect chemically mediated interactions between plants? To find out, check out our publication! @HelmsLab @tamuentomology @JackWasTweeting @PlantCellEnvir doi.org/10.1111/pce.14…
