Life summary since graduating from Balboa High School in the Panama Canal Zone, 1984....earned a B.S. in Wildlife Biology at Virginia Tech where I was active in the student chapter of The Wildlife Society, trained as a Wildland Forest Firefighter, and did a co-op with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service where I worked for a year at Patuxent Wildlife Research Center and lived at a wildlife hospital in Bowie, MD (possums in the walls, ducks in the bathtub!). Graduated, worked on a sea turtle project in Florida, married a fellow Hokie forester. Worked for the Nature Conservancy in Tallahassee, FL for two years, then we moved to Orego...Expand for more
n where I worked for the U.S. Forest Service surveying for spotted owls and doing other bird surveys. Obtained an M.S. in wildlife from Oregon State University in 1996 and then worked on a variety of bird survey projects around the state of Oregon - love the high desert of eastern Oregon, the wide open spaces where you can drive for hours without seeing another person. Recently moved to Athens, GA where we both work for the University for Georgia, hubby as a forestry professor and me in Plant Biology. Hobbies include exploring used bookstores for old natural history books, attending interesting food festivals, and collecting stray cats.
