PhD Student
North Carolina State University, North Carolina, United States
My current interests are in behavioral and ecological aspects of mosquitoes. During my undergrad at Western Carolina University (WCU), I focused on topics from the phenology of rock pools to La Crosse virus to hyperparasitism of water mites on Aedes tormentor. My master's thesis focused on environmental conditions and their influence on the transmission of Dirofilaria immitis, also known as dog heartworm, in two species of mosquitoes. I completed my masters at North Carolina State University in May of 2024, where I also quickly shifted to a PhD. My current focus for my PhD is improving surveillance methods for mosquitoes in Uganda, including enhancing baits for adult mosquito traps and a checklist of Culicidae in Uganda.
