About
I am an Assistant Professor with the Southeastern Cooperative Wildlife Disease Study (SCWDS) and Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources. I completed a Ph.D. in Wildlife Ecology and Management from the Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources with a focus on parasitology. I continue to work with The Carter Center and the Guinea Worm Eradication Program in Chad, Africa, but focus mostly on developing collaborative research projects with the SCWDS member states to investigate pathogens of consequence in wildlife populations. Teaching undergraduate and graduate students is a primary objective, and I develop and deliver courses that based in experiential learning practices.
I have a strong background in parasitological techniques, as well as mammal trapping, handling and chemical immobilization, mist netting, nest searching, entomology, and necropsy. Additionally, I utilize PCR, SN, ELISA, HI, and various other molecular diagnostic techniques for surveillance, experimentation, and management of wildlife diseases.
