Originally from Ohio, I have spent a significant amount of time traveling the United States and abroad. I have lived in Alabama, Vermont, and Colorado and have conducted research internationally in Spain, Panama, as well as the Bahamas. I joined Hiram College in 2007 as a Teaching Research Associate where I primarily teach laboratory courses in Molecular and Cellular Biology, Genetics, as well as Microbiology. I am a broadly trained biologist and my research experience has varied from plant molecular biology, wetland biology, tropical ecology, cave ecology, and stream ecology. I have worked on several species of organisms, including Arabidopsis thaliana for cellular and genetic studies and have utilized Escherichia coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae for genetic manipulation and molecular assays. In my current position, I also work with Agrobacterium tumefaciens as well as Acidovorax avenae with students in a teaching environment. As you may have already noticed, my research interests have changed over the years as a result of my wide interest across the field of biology. More recently, I have been working with students on the microbial diversity of the phyllosphere of certain plants using both culture-based and metagenomic methods.
