Currently I am a faculty member in the Department of Integrative Biology and serve as the Graduate Program Director for the department. I am an evolutionary biologist by training with a broad range of teaching, research, and administrative experience. I have managed a wide variety of projects focused on interdisciplinary undergraduate and graduate training in the STEM disciplines. I am a member of SPARCnet (Salamander Population Adaptation Research Collaboration Network) and am focused on developing long-term ecological research projects for undergraduates.
