Interests: I'm super interested in invertebrates, particularly those found in freshwater and marine environments. I also have a strong passion for learning about other organisms, such as insects and fish. In my spare time, I enjoy expressing my creativity through drawing and occasionally photography.
 
What are you doing with your collection: My work at the museum consists of cataloging, organizing, and taking photos of specimen in the invertebrate collection
 
What made you want to do an internship with GMNH: I wanted to have unique hands-on experience with invertebrates. I also wanted to make connections with faculty members and my peers.
