Sarah Caso, Undergraduate Research Assistant
Sarah is a sophomore studying Environmental Science with a Biological Science concentration. She joined the Urban Bee Lab because of a desire to work with the conservation of helpful native bees after having previously worked with the removal of invasive insects, and because she is passionate about educating youth about all things nature related. Sarah was a member of the Global Environment Theme House (GETH) during her freshman year, and in her free time can be found on a hike with former GETHies, on a run, or in the kitchen trying a new vegan recipe.
