My name is Lauren, and I am a new MSc student in Physical Geography at UBC! I am studying insect herbivores in the Garry oak ecosystem on Vancouver Island, BC. My research is on functional feeding guilds of insects and how they respond to change in the plant communities. Check out my lab's website here!

I consider the Pacific Northwest my home, but have lived in California, Utah, Washington, and Oregon throughout my life.

When I'm not working on my research and studying, some of my favorite past times include:

• birding
• hiking (and snowshoeing in the winter)
• yoga
• playing ultimate frisbee
• cooking
• fishing
