*Because my personal and professional lives are so connected, I included my job title on the cover page. Most of the information on this website relates directly to my academic career, teaching, research and the current responsibilities of my job. But, there are personal opinions and information that has nothing to do with my role as a professor at UNCG. This information was generally shaped by my academic experiences, including those at UNCG, or related to my growth as an ecologist and teacher. All opinions expressed on this website and in my Blog are mine and do not reflect the opinions of my employer- and perhaps maybe not a single other organism in the universe.
