Biography

I am a biologist who has worked in higher education for 15 years. I have 19 years of experience teaching various student learners in higher education. Still, I have found my passion centered around working with the university research community in research safety, integrity, and compliance affairs. I'm particularly interested in how the public perceives research at public land grant institutions and the ethical issues surrounding how public land grant schools have conducted research in this country.
