    I began work as the DBS Ecology Lab Coordinator in 2007. In the Ecology program students learn by experience, using scientific protocol, inquiry, and creativity under the guidance of highly qualified Biological Sciences graduate students. I enjoy leading student and community groups on nature explorations in local natural areas. I dance Argentine tango, bicycle, and build furniture.
