Research Interests: My greatest enjoyment as a scientist is in studying the relationships between various organisms and the factors that influence their dynamics. Mutualistic relationships of figs with fig wasps, fungal symbionts that nourish insects and carnivorous plant genera Drosera, Utricularia and Sarracenia have all piqued my interests and enhanced my appreciation for the natural world. My background as an artist has further developed my skills for observation and I utilize my talents as a scientific illustrator as often as possible.
