Biology & Behavior MS, Univ. of Illinois, 2003, Natural Resources & Environmental Sciences BS, Univ. of Illinois, 2001, Natural Resources & Environmental Sciences I am a veterinary ecologist specializing in wildlife and zoonotic disease ecology and epidemiology. My research originates at the intersection of ecology, epidemiology, and conservation, and encompasses diverse taxa (bacteria, ticks, mosquitoes, birds, mice, dogs, humans, and more). Given the emergence of pathogens shared by humans and animals, this is an important time to utilize multidisciplinary tools to improve human, animal, and ecosystem health.
