Biography

I was born in north-western Pennsylvania in 1971.

 

In the autumn of 1990, after free-lancing as a photographer, as an avid environmentalist I wanted to make a contribution scientifically. I received my B.Sc from the University of Maryland in 1995 and my M.Sc and Ph.D from the University of Rochester, in 2000 and 2004, respectively.

 

I then continued my academic career for the next 20 years as a postdoctoral research associate, and assistant professor, and then an associate professor.

​

I am now focusing more on my photography to explore and show what a beautiful and marvelous world we have and need to protect. Enjoy my work.
