About Me

I am a conservation biologist and ecologist at an undergraduate liberal arts college. Being a mentor to undergraduate students as they work to discover their passions and develop as scientists is one of the highlights of being a professor at York College of Pennsylvania. I enjoy helping students reach their goals, solve problems, analyze data, expand their horizons, and think critically about important issues.
