My name is Ian Jett and I am a senior Entomology major planning on graduating in June of 2025. I have been an Entomology major since the winter quarter of my freshman year. I initially entered college with the plan of going to medical school as a general bio major but I quickly realized that I wouldn't really be happy going that direction.

Hi, my name is Abram Estrada! Since I was a kid, I knew I wanted to study insects. It wasn't until I started my major coursework as an ENT major that I really understood what it meant to be an entomologist and where my passion could lead me.

My name is Felix Duley, and I am so honored to be a nominee for entomology student of the month! I study and live in Davis with my fiancé and our plethora of pets, including spiders, scorpions, fish, and our two cats. Any time not spent studying I spend creating art, hanging out with my family and friends, or exploring nature. I have been lucky enough to be a student at UC Davis since the fall quarter of 2022, and this spring I will finish up my undergraduate journey with my bachelor’s in entomology.
