Biography
My background and interests include ecotoxicology, wildlife biology, and natural history collections management. I have worked with students on various research projects in these areas. Additionally, I am passionate about working with students on career and professional development and thinking about how their Dalton State degree will translate into the workforce or further education. I also serve as the Faculty Athletics Representative for Dalton State College and Eligibility Chair for the Southern States Athletic Conference.
