Absolutely thrilled to have one of my major papers from my masters degree finally published! The red headed flea beetle is slowly but surely being better understood. I’m proud to have been able to contribute to the wellbeing of nursery growers by sharing this information
The past two Mondays, I have had the honor of speaking at Virginia Tech’s Black College Institute, a resource for high school students to get a taste of college. I’ve had so much fun showing students how cool drones are and their many applications! #CALS
Dr. @lejodelpozo’s Master’s student @Shannon_VTbugs discusses some innovative #research looking at the use of drones and other technologies for scouting pests and detecting pollinators. Shannon’s project is part of the new @VTCals Center for Advanced Innovation in Agriculture.
So incredibly proud of @BugCatcherG for crushing her thesis defense “A survey of subterranean arthropod diversity in southwestern Virginia, USA”! 🐛🐜🐞🦟🪲🪳🕷️
I’m super proud to have presented on cataloguing pollinator habitats at Virginia golf courses @EntsocAmerica , watch VT take home awards, and of course to have met some amazing entomologists!
What a complete honor to share the stage with these incredible scientists, especially @fervasquezval!!! Couldn’t wipe the smile off my face for the last day of #EBEntSoc23 🤩🐝🦋🪲🐌
@VT_Entomology
Big shout out to @CodeyMathis for coming to the rescue and driving to another state to save me from my wardrobe malfunction 🥹 that’s entomologists supporting entomologists

The past two days I’ve had the honor of speaking to k-12 students from my hometown in PA, and they ask the best questions. My favorite so far is “do bugs sneeze?”
I had the best time at #EntSoc22 presenting on light reflectance as part of an integrated pest and pollinator management plan and hearing some amazing student talks!
