Sabrina Hayes is a specialist working at the intersection of youth development, entomology, AgriSTEM education, and medical entomology. Her work focuses on science education outreach, entomology-based learning programs, and community engagement initiatives that promote awareness of insects in agriculture and public health.

Her efforts emphasize empowering youth through STEM-based agricultural education (AgriSTEM), while also increasing understanding of medically important insects such as mosquitoes and other disease vectors. She integrates entomology with education and outreach to build interest in science, agriculture, and environmental stewardship.
