I am a chemist / biologist at the United States Environmental Protection
Agency's Great Lakes National Program Office. Here, I help to develop
indicators for the Great Lakes Basin as well as participate in the
spring and summer surveys aboard the RV Lake Guardian. While aboard,
I help to collect and analyze water samples throughout the Great
Lakes. I am also involved in helping to plan and execute the biannual
State of the Lakes Ecosystem Conference.
I spent the fall of 2002 at the Woods Hole Marine Biological Laboratory
and Ecosystem Center in Woods Hole, MA. There, I studied the effects
of effluent spraying on a forest and its impacts on surrounding
watershed areas. I also did an independent research project geared
towards the effects of induced stresses in salt marshes on benthic
invertebrates. In May 2004, I graduated from Ripon College in Ripon,
WI with a bachelor's degree in Chemistry / Biology.
