I grew up in Northern California, where I developed a love of nature, which turned into a passion for conservation. I'm excited to spend the summer researching hawkmoths and their interactions with Oenothera harringtonii for my honors thesis. In my spare time, I love reading, hiking, and riding horses.

This summer, we’ve been testing hawkmoth caterpillars to see if they have a preference when it comes to choosing food sources. We have also been trying to determine if the caterpillars grow better on these preferred food sources.
