Professional Experience
Prior to joining the Center for Conservation Biology in the fall of 1999, and while studying at West Virginia State College and Marshall University, I assisted in numerous research projects dealing with birds, small mammals, and reptiles and amphibians in West Virginia and other states. As a research biologist at the Center, I am responsible for GIS projects, data collection, management, and dissemination; hiring and training of temporary field research assistants; management of selected field research projects; and production of selected technical reports.
