Additional Information
Biography
As an academic advisor at UNO, I work with undergraduate students in biology and bioinformatics programs, helping them define and reach their academic goals while meeting university, college, and program degree requirements. I earned both undergraduate and graduate degrees at UNO in biology and geography. I occasionally teach Biology I & II labs and Earth System Science courses, which provides another way for me to interact with students and share my love of higher education.Interests
My academic interests focus primarily on the natural world including the fields of biology, geography, geology, ecology, and environmental science. I studied lichen diversity in the Big Thicket National Preserve, Texas for my biology thesis, and soil mineralogy in burned vs. unburned soils at Glacier Creek Preserve for my geography thesis. I feel at home in academia and enjoy connecting with college students and assisting them on their individual journeys in any way I can.Virtual Bulletin Board
