I am an undergraduate biology student interested in taxonomy and systematics of Diptera. My research in the O'Grady lab has consisted mainly of efforts to catalog the large collections of Drosophilidae and Diptera as a whole in the Cornell University Insect Collection, along with work processing genetic phylogenies. I also work in the CUIC as an undergraduate curator, and have revised the entire pinned collection of Tephritoidea. Finally, I am an active contributor to online biodiversity sites, being an editor on BugGuide and a curator on iNaturalist.
