I am a graduate student in the Rehan Bee Lab at York University in Toronto, Canada. My interests include the systematics, biogeography, and taxonomy of Nomada and the effects of forest restoration on native bee diversity.
As a masters student, I investigated how land use and management effect wild bee phylogenetic diversity
