My current full-time position is as a lecturer in the Department of Biology and Allied Health Sciences, Fairleigh Dickinson University, NJ - Courses taught: Molecules, Cells, and Genes, Biological Diversity. I also adjunct online general biology courses at Southern New Hampshire University.

Courses taught in the past: Ecology, Environmental Biology, Environmental Science, Horticulture, Emerging Diseases, General Biology I and II, Cell Biology.

Additionally, I'm a Master Bander and have run my own banding station in the past, tracking migration and population numbers of songbirds. I currently volunteer for projects involving banding migrating shorebirds in the spring and hawks in the fall. I've also been involved in wild bird rehabilitation - helping sick and injured wild birds recover and be released back into the wild - for the past 14 years.

My specialization is in ornithology (birds!) but I'm also interested in the fields of ecology, zoology, species conservation, animal behavior, and herpetology.
