RESEARCH
As an Instructor, my focus is now on teaching with research efforts working with students interested in human and animal physiology.
I am a marine biologist with a passion for physiology. My background extends from veterinary technician to marine mammal rehabilitation. During my MS in Marine Science at the University of New England, I examined pinniped nutrition in various rehabilitation centers across the country. I completed my dissertation in trace metals in the West Indian manatee at the University of Florida and then completed a short postdoc at the University of Queensland’s National Research Centre for Environmental Toxicology in Australia.
I do not have an active research lab at ľ¹ÏÊÓÆµ, but still mentor undergraduates and honors students with their research projects and am active with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s Fish and Wildlife Research Institute.
