 Nova Southeastern University, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida 1998

I was born and raised in eastern Pennsylvania but my love of the ocean resulted in the pursuit of my degrees in marine science.

 I have taught at colleges in south Florida and far southwestern Virginia before accepting the position at NFC. While pursuing my education, I had the opportunity to take classes on the island of St. Croix (USVI), and conduct research on scientific cruises in the Florida Gulf Stream, the Florida Straits, Florida Bay, the Gulf of Mexico, the Irish Sea and the Weddell Sea off the Antarctic Peninsula.
