Dr. Perry received her Ph.D. in Entomology from the Ohio State University in December 2016, advised by Dr. Dan Herms. She had several postdoctoral research experiences, including a USDA NIFA Postdoctoral Fellowship, and most recently was a postdoctoral research associate at Kent State University.
Dr. Perry started as Assistant Professor in Forest Entomology in August 2022 and is based at the Wooster Science Building. Her research aims to understand how disturbances influence the structure and function of insect communities in natural and urban forests. This includes natural disturbances such as windstorms and human-induced disturbances such as exotic species. Dr. Perry has extensive experience working with ground- and soil-dwelling insects, especially ground beetles (Family Carabidae). With an extension program in forest entomology, Dr. Perry works with a variety of stakeholder groups on issues related to forest insect ecology and management, with a particular focus on invasive forest insects. Dr. Perry teaches or co-teaches several courses including insect ecology, statistics, and the nature and practice of science.
