I was usually tired after a long day in the field from collecting leaves, fruits, and/or invertebrate. But I was still very happy and excited to carry out a research project that I had planned with the purpose of testing the enemy release hypothesis. The outcomes of data were an interesting find and I hope to publish it in a journal.

My Thesis Committee Team members were Dr. Heather Sahli. Dr. Todd Hurd, and Dr. Gregory S. Paulson.

A part of being a Botanist is to be independent in my research. Another part is to be very eager and willing to do the project. It demands commitment in completing it. With my ability and my capability, I am qualified to perform a wide array of positions.
