I am a support scientist (plant physiology) providing capabilities
for genetic analysis of populations in both invasive weeds and biocontrol
agents. My background includes a B.A. in chemistry and biology from Temple
University, an M.S. in botany-zoology (specializing in limnology) from the Univ.
of Wisconsin- Milwaukee, several years of warm-water fish culture in the Peace
Corps, experience as an analytical chemist for the Univ. of Florida and research
on aquatic invasive plants as a USDA technician. My molecular tutelage came
under Dr. Raymond Schnell at the Subtropical Horticulture Research Station in
Miami.
