I am an insect ecologist in the Faculty of Environment at the University of Northern British Columbia.

Insects, spiders, and their kin completely fascinate me. I love to talk about the interesting little creatures that we often find living alongside us, their amazing and often surprising behaviour, how we can work to conserve these fascinating animals, and how "bugs" affect humans -- both beneficially and otherwise.

My research includes:

- insect and other arthropod biodiversity across a variety of landscapes and ecosystems including forested, agricultural, urban, and aquatic environments.

- insect chemical ecology – i.e., how organisms interact with each other using chemicals.

- forest integrated pest management.
