BACKGROUND
|
|
I have
been a biology professor at Phoenix College since 1984. I love
teaching biology and I have experience teaching many different
biology topics. My love for marine biology was kindled early in
my life when my grandfather introduced me to marine life on the
shores of Long Island, New York. I have studied marine biology
ever since and have experience in the field on the Atlantic, Gulf
of Mexico, and Pacific coasts of the United States. During the
course of my studies, I have earned degrees from the State University
of New York at Stony Brook and the University of Southern California.
As a graduate student I carried out research projects in tropical
marine ecology in the Sea of Cortez, Mexico. Since then, I've
focused my attention on the coral reefs of the Caribbean, Hawaii,
and Australia. Every summer I bring groups of students into the
field to teach them about marine organisms. I am an avid nature
photographer and SCUBA diver and I love to include these activities
in my field classes. |
