About Me

Hi! Welcome to my page!

I'm Kimberly and I'm a senior undergraduate at Arizona State University in the enviromental science degree program. My focus is in conservation and organismal biology. 

My research areas have varied from entomology to herpetology. The first position I had was in the forestry entomology lab at Northern Arizona University where I assissted in exploring resin concentrations of various phenotypes of pinyons and its defensive mechanisms against fungal infections inoculated by bark beetle infestations.  


I've also interned with the Arizona Game and Fish Department where I worked in the Non-game Terrestrial Wildlife Branch. I worked on projects in the invertebrates program mainly focusing on native and invasive snail populations. 

                                                  

                       
Currently, I work in the herpetology lab at ASU where we hope to measure lizard biodiversity across the parks and preserves in Maricopa County. 


After graduation, I hope to pursue a masters degree in wildlife biology that will help me prepare for a lifelong career in conservation. 

In my personal life, I am a mom to an awesome kid. We enjoy hiking, kayaking, and eating lots of amazing food!

The Search for Research: The Top Two

Image
My first step for this semester’s research project was simply to search for topics in my interest areas. Unfortunately, since I am a new STEM scholar, I have numerous interest areas. I’m hoping that this is a normal occurrence for beginners. In order to narrow my scope, I chose to stick in the relative area of ecology. I started by looking at different ecological issues and moved on to wildlife epidemiology. Once, I compiled a list of important and relevant problems, I gathered more information about each and created a compilation of summaries or overviews. Although I started with 10+ topics, these are the top two that made the cut: The monarch butterfly ( Danaus plexippus ) population has drastically reduced in size over the last two decades. Research suggests a need for increased milkweed habitats. More research is necessary to understand the effects of climate change on migratory patterns. This video from National Geographic is twelve years old. It mentions the monarch butterfly p...

The Where's and Why's of Disease

Image
 As I approach developing questions about Yersinia pestis , I found a necessity to gather as much background information about the microbe as possible. This past week has consisted of numerous articles, journals, and videos that address various aspects of the bacteria. For the sake of organization, I would like to present some of the information I found on a scale of small to large; in relativity to observable material.  1.    Microbiological and genetic composition: As you can see from the picture below it is rod-shaped. There are no visible extensions that make it motile. I found a great paper that further explains its virulence, specific plasmids, and structurally gram-negative cell well encoded by chromosomal genes (Butler M.D., 1). It is an anaerobic organism. I have reached out to a professor to help me better understand the role of phagocytes and antigens. Hopefully from there, I can develop questions pertaining to structural or chromosomal composition and th...

Trying to Learn Statistics

Image
It is almost turkey times, friends! I cannot wait for some stuffing (it's my favorite). First, I'd like to say I am having issues commenting on my own blog. I have seen your comments and appreciate the support, encouragement, and advice. Hopefully, I will have these technical issues resolved soon so that I can respond and send my warm regards.  I have done a little statistics in some of my science classes, but have not taken the class, yet. I believe it's on my schedule for one of the upcoming semesters. Therefore, I don't fully know about the types of statistical comparisons.  My week has been organizing my data into neat little tables that make sense. Also, I have had to collect some more climate data for one of my regions. I need to have a meeting with a mentor to help me understand statistically and graphically. I love math, but my least favorite part is making the graphs. Well, just complicated ones are challenging. Really my goal is to have the data really clearly...
