Anna graduated from Northern Illinois University in May 2024 with a M.S. in Biological Sciences and previously graduated from Westminster College magna cum laude with a B.S. in Biology. Before coming to The Ohio State University, she worked for Syngenta Seeds as an entomology technician. The current EEID-funded project is examining how various seasonal factors drive West Nile virus transmission in Culex mosquitoes.
Anna plans to work towards a second M.S. in Entomology and Nematology with a focus in Medical Entomology through the University of Florida’s online education program. Outside of the lab, Anna enjoy swimming, video gaming, and spending time with her pet rabbit (Marshmallow) and hamster (Truffle).
