About Me
I recently received my BS in entomology from the University of Delaware. I am interested in the systematics of Fulgoromorpha (Planthoppers) and Curculionidae (Weevils), with a particular interest in old world taxa. I am particullarly interested in the family Flatidae, especially the subfamily Flatoidinae, which I am currently working with Dr. Charles Bartlett (@delphax) on. Previously I have curated the Carabidae, Tenebrionidae, and Curculionidae in the University of Delaware Insect Research Collection (UDCC).

I am an avid insect collector and I prefer to collect taxa of interest and photograph the specimens later. Images of museum speciemens taken by me can be found on the University of Delaware Insect Research Collection account (@udel-hoppers).
