Bio

Generated by
Topline AI
I'm Liam Ash, currently based in Shreveport, Louisiana. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in History and Spanish from Swarthmore College, where I graduated with high honors, and I'm pursuing a Master of Science in Entomology at The University of Georgia. My professional experience includes working as a Research Assistant at UGA, where I developed an automated notification system for queen rearing and trained under veteran beekeepers. Previously, I served as an Interim Beekeeper and Queen Rearing Specialist at Hummer & Son Honey, and as a Growth Coordinator at Ovipost, where I innovated methods in scalable agriculture. I am fluent in Spanish and have limited proficiency in Russian, which enhances my communication skills in diverse environments. My passion for entomology and sustainable agriculture drives my work and research.
