BIOGRAPHY

I am an ecologist and Professor in the Department of Fisheries and Wildlife. I work with diverse stakeholder groups to implement strategies that protect aquatic ecosystems and maintain valuable ecosystem services. My work places a strong emphasis on outreach and engagement. My current work focuses on building and coordinating capacity at MSU and across the state to address water quality problems.

As the Associate Director of the MSU Water Alliance, I seek to foster and build collaborations among the MSU community to advance water research, outreach & engagement, and education.  My work includes serving as the Program Coordinator for the WaterCube National Research Traineeship (NRT) Program.

AREA OF EXPERTISE

Sustainable development and innovative stormwater management practices to protect aquatic ecosystems; working with local governments to revise building codes in order to improve land development practices and to encourage low impact development and Smart Growth techniques
