Resume/CV

During the fall semester, I usually teach General Ecology and General Zoology. During the spring semester, I teach Introduction to Biology II and alternate between Animal Behavior (in even-numbered years) and Entomology (in odd-numbered years). I also teach a graduate course in Population and Community Ecology as needed, and have done Introduction to Biological Methods on a rotating basis with other professors in the Biology Department.

I have been a faculty member in the TTU Department of Biology for more than 40 years. I currently teach courses in general and molecular genetics. I currently also have a half-time appointment in the School of Interdisciplinary Studies, serving as an advisor to students majoring in Interdisciplinary Studies. In that capacity I also oversee the student internship program, serve as the TTU representative on the Tennessee Board of Regents Online Degree Program (RODP) curriculum committee and teach an online course in genetics for RODP.

I am currently working as a post-doctoral research associate (quantitative aquatic ecologist) on developing the Cumberland Habitat Conservation Plan to protect rare or endemic terrestrial and aquatic species in middle Tennessee. My major role is to quantify the effect of multiple anthropogenic activities on the covered species. For more information on the project, visit http://www.cumberlandhcp.org
