General Comments:
As Director of the BUEC's Campus Greening Initiative I serve as the primary facilitator and advocate for sustainable environmental practices, environmental literacy, and ecologically sound campus design and planning at Bucknell. With a graduate degree is in landscape architecture and an undergraduate degree in chemistry, I have a passion for blending art and science in the pursuit of creative solutions to environmental problems. Since spring of 2000 I have taught ecological design as an adjunct in Bucknell's Environmental Studies Program. Prior to joining Bucknell, I held positions as a research specialist in environmental biology for the Boyce Thompson Institute of Plant Research at Cornell University and as a GIS analyst for the Environmental Background Information Center, a non-profit environmental service organization.
