About me
I am a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Guelph
supervised by
Dr. Nigel Raine.
We are testing for possible impacts of pesticides on the movement
of bumble bees. We are doing this with the help of tiny radio tags that
track their movement! Check out my current work page for more details!
My research interests are:
My research interests are:
- behavioural ecology
- conservation
- restoration
- pollinators
- all things bumble bees!
I have studied bumble bees using a variety of methods:
Why so much focus on bumble bees? BEE-cause they are the best! They can be found across many continents, are great pollinators for wild and crop plants, and have a very interesting life history.
- field sampling of bees, nests, and plants
- statistical modelling
- conservation planning
- systematic literature reviews
- radio telemetry to study movement behaviour

Although my specialty is bumble bee research, I am open to working
on any ecological research project, especially those with an applied
angle (see some of my past research examples on my experience page).
When I am not out searching for bumble bees or analyzing data, you can find me hanging out with my dog, gardening, hiking, playing violin, baking or crafting!
