Carrie Preston

Research Interests: My fields of interest include invasive species, biocontrol, pest management, ecology, and outreach. I am applying to Cornell for my Master’s in Entomology. Invasive species have always caught my interest due to their ability to survive and thrive beyond their home range. The forest is a place I call home; therefore, I want to protect forest ecosystems that are being affected by these successful intruders. I also really want to spread the word about these pests and educate people about how to help prevent further spread and future invasions. Eventually, I would like to become a college professor. At Cornell, there are two people that I would love to work with: Dr. Ann Hajek and Professor Arthur Agnello. Both have invaluable knowledge and experience with invasive species, which would be my main focus.
