Project Title: Carbon Fluxes within the Boreal Forest

Mentor: Jilmarie Stephens, University of British Columbia

Bio: Meliah was born and raised in Colorado and is currently completing her associate’s degree at Front Range Community College with plans to continue her studies in Fort Collins at Colorado State University.

A growing interest in bugs and insects was developed early on for Meliah and from the time she learned the word entomologist at a very young age she knew studying insects was in her future. Meliah’s passion for entomology continues to this day and she enjoys spending time at the Butterfly Pavilion, home to over 5000 invertebrates from all over the world, located in Westminster.

Meliah is excited to begin the RECCS program to further develop and build her research skills, as well as become more familiar with a professional laboratory environment.
