ESPM research
These are some research efforts I’ve assisted with in the Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management.
➣ I helped investigate Tetragnatha chemical ecology using GC-MS, R, and ArcGIS Pro with Seira Ashley Adams of the Gillespie and Roderick research group, including as a Summer Undergraduate Research Fellow.
➣ I recombined more than 1,000 effluent samples under the direction of Sarick Matzen for an investigation of bioremediation of arsenic with the Pallud Lab.
➣ With the Mills Lab, I worked with a set of bee specimens collected for Laura Ward’s dissertation, primarily preparing them for storage in the Essig Museum of Entomology.
Community involvement
I’ve previously been involved with the Berkeley Student Food Collective, 350 Bay Area, the Hand Up Food Pantry at Jewish Family Service of San Diego, and local honeybee conservation.
