Lauren Haskins, BSc

I am an Insect Conservation Technician who joined the lab in February 2026. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Wildlife Ecology and Conservation from the University of Florida, with a minor in Entomology. My passion for wildlife and insects has taken me to some amazing places and introduced me to a variety of species and ecosystems. I’ve surveyed bumblebees in Oregon, studied ant/plant mutualisms in Kenya, and gained experience in Alaska’s fishery industry. Each of these experiences has shaped my appreciation for the incredible diversity of the natural world and inspired my interest in insect conservation.
