Brief biography
I grew up in Colorado and went to Colorado State University as an undergraduate in Zoology with an Anatomy & Neurobiology minor. I attended graduate school at the University of Alaska Fairbanks where I studied integrative neurophysiology and central control of breathing. After leaving UAF with a Master’s in Biology and PhD in Zoology I returned to Colorado State University and completed my Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine. I have worked off and on in private practice, but academia is my passion. I continue to provide relief veterinary work and maintain active licensure. My family and I live in West Salem WI.

Career
Professional history
I am a licensed veterinarian, and have practiced in Kentucky, Colorado, California and now in Wisconsin. I taught the medical physiology sequence to the professional veterinary students at St. Matthews in the Cayman Islands prior to accepting a faculty position in Animal and Veterinary Science at Cal Poly Pomona. I am thrilled to be starting my first year as an Assistant Professor in Biology at UWL. I am eager to build my biomedical/physiology research program with many opportunities for interested students.
I am a member of the National Board of Trustees for the American Pre-Veterinary Medical Association and am passionate about supporting pre-professional education. I strive to help students overcome barriers toward their professional goals and get involved in research and internship opportunities that expand their skillsets.
Research and publishing
My lab is currently accepting graduate and undergraduate students. My research is focused on biomedicine and veterinary physiology. We use diagnostic tools to characterize health and wellness across development in a variety of animal models and preparations. We identify disease agents (pathogens), and study processes that disrupt normal physiology. Once identified, we examine therapeutic strategies or preventative measures to treat disease agents and preserve health. My lab works with clinical veterinary data, with private and institutional animals, and with tissues to increase our knowledge of integrative and comparative pathophysiology and novel treatment modalities.
