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鈥檚 National Research Centre for Environmental Toxicology in Australia.
I do not have an active research lab at USF, but still mentor undergraduates and honors students with their research projects and am active with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission鈥檚 Fish and Wildlife Research Institute.
