Outreach & Service

I believe that science should be accessible to and inclusive of everyone. I am also passionate about supporting the wellbeing and mental health of scientists. Please see some of my ongoing projects below.

K-12 Science Education

For the past six years, I've brought presentations about ecology and conservation to K-12 classrooms. Additionally, I led lessons on invertebrate diversity and microscopy in the Pespeni Lab. I find sharing my knowledge with my community to be one of the best parts of my job.

Mental Health

I created and taught a course at the University of Vermont on graduate student wellness. I also worked with a group of UVM graduate students to reduce mental health stigma, build community, and increase accessibility to wellness resources on campus.
