The Ohio State University, Ohio, United States
Carlee graduated from Hendrix College in 2020, double majoring in Biology and Environmental Studies for her undergraduate degree, and received her PhD in Entomology at The Ohio State University in 2025. Carlee has had an ongoing interest in pollinators, which was furthered by her work during undergrad studying the Texas frosted elfin (Callophrys irus hadros) butterfly population in public lands. This research project, along with a study of Carolina Wren (Thryothorus ludovicianus) response to fracking noise, stimulated her interest in the influence human dominated landscapes can have on different organisms. At Ohio State, Carlee is studied native pollinators in urban environments with a focus on how areas can be modified to improve the health of these pollinator communities.
