Lepidopterist with experience studying butterflies and moths of North and South America.

Received my master's from the University of New Orleans with a project examining the morphology of the false eyespots of Brassolini butterflies. I currently work for the USDA/ARS Invasive Plants Research Lab producing biocontrol agents en masse for release for the terribly invasive, old world climbing fern Lygodium microphyllum, here in South Florida.
