Biography
I have a B.S. in Urban Forestry and a M.S. in Natural Resources from UW-Stevens Point, and am currently the Lab Manager for the Molecular Conservation Genetics Laboratory at UW-Stevens Point. I am originally from Minnesota, and am an avid sportsman and Beagler.. I have interests in urban soil microbiology, environmental DNA applications, and molecular ecology.. I enjoy teaching introductory Natural Resources courses, genetics, and environmental microbiology.
