My current career position is as a research biologist for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency at the Atlantic Ecology Division in Narragansett, RI. I have been there for 4 years now and am doing research on the effects of watershed land use and nutrient inputs on neighboring marshes and estuaries. Much of my training has been with marine invertebrates, and I have recently been working with plants, fish and other mobile nekton. I received a Bachelor of Arts in Biological Sciences from the University of Delaware, a Master of Science in Marine, Estuarine and Environmental Science from the University of Maryland, and a Master of Science in Ecology and Evolution from Rutgers University. The most exciting part of my career is the fact that I spend a large part of my time outside conducting fieldwork. Sometimes I am sampling fish from a boat, collecting animals or plants from a marsh, or diving as a member of the EPA dive team. I think the toughest barrier toward my current position was a labeling of my abilities based on my educational level.
