I am a second year student in the PhD program in entomology at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. I love nature, so it is a fantastic field for me to be in. The other possible option would have been ornithology (study of birds), but I am happy with the choice I made.
I love to go bird watching, insect collecting, or just be out in nature. I am more of a solitary bee than a social insect (terrible pun, I know), but I do not mind hanging out with like-minded friends from time to time. I suppose that would make me more of a communal insect.
I am not a great artist (hence coming to DA to attempt to improve my skills), but I have been writing poetry since I was a child. I'm better with a mouse than I am with a pencil, oddly enough. I would probably fail miserably if I ever used a tablet.
