I am a Ph.D. student in Dr. Carol C. Horvitz’s Lab. The members of my dissertation commmitee are Drs. Theodore H. Fleming, Douglas Futuyma, Keith Waddington and Barbara Whitlock.

My research is focused on understanding the consequences of plant-insect ecological interactions on plants and insects fitness at an ecological and evolutionary scale. To address these issues, I use as study models various plant-pollinator and plant-herbivore tropical systems.
