Hello, I'm Jo'lene! I'm currently a UC Chancellor's Postdoctoral Fellow at UC Davis in the Yang Lab. 
​

My research investigates disturbance and land use change impacts on plant-butterfly interaction networks in California’s coastal sage scrub ecosystems. I also study the painted lady butterfly (Vanessa cardui) and its North American migration. ​
​
As a first-generation college graduate and granddaughter of migrant farm workers, I am passionate about the recruitment and retainment of members of groups historically underrepresented in STEM. Through my mentorship and community engagement, I communicate my research, teach various technical skills, and provide resources to those seeking opportunities in higher education. I aim to show others that science is for everyone!
