MSPH, Tulane University School of Public Health & Tropical Medicine PhD, University of Rhode Island RESEARCH: My research interests lie at the intersection of tick ecology and human behavior. I collected my first tick in 1998 and was immediately hooked. My work since that time has been focused upon understanding risk for tickborne illnesses like Lyme disease and preventing humans from encountering ticks in the peridomestic (backyard) landscape. Learn more about some recent projects here, or check out my CV. TEACHING: Providing hands-on learning opportunities for my students is among one of my primary goals as a WCSU professor. At WCSU, I teach a variety of undergraduate and graduate courses including Concept of Biology (non-majors), Modes of Science Communication, GIS, and Group Senior Research. I also serve as coordinator for our graduate student Teaching Assistant Fellows program.
