EDUCATION
Ph.D. in Fisheries and Wildlife / Ecology, Evolutionary Biology and Behavior, Michigan
State University, 2007
B.S., Biology, Saint Louis University, 2000 (summa cum laude)
TEACHING
I teach Biometry with the goal of providing graduate students a foundation in statistics
and with experience using R to implement those statistical approaches. I also teach
Mathematical Modeling in Biology to provide graduate students with experience implementing
analysis of ecological and evolutionary theories in R.
RESEARCH
I am interested in the ecology of species invasions and zoonotic diseases, and in
the underlying population ecology of small populations. Dynamics leading to the alternatives
of persistence and extinction influence applied ecological problems from conservation
of threatened species to rapid spatial spread of invasive species and emerging diseases.
