Student Research Assistant

I’m a student here at UMaine currently pursuing my Bachelors of Science in Biology. The complex network of interspecies interactions that occur all around us everyday fascinates me. I’m passionate about conservation, and currently researching predation and feeding strategies of water striders, looking into the dance between waterstriders and springtails as predator and prey.
