I'm passionate about biological diversity--always poking my macro lens in the faces of insects and spiders to reveal the details. My academic research focus is population genetics. Because I work at a university that (historically) has been teaching focused, my research questions and methodology are relatively simple.

If I come across as rude, it's not my intention. It's something I struggle with. Assume that I have good intentions and am just not good at communicating that.
