Education

Ph.D.

Zoology

Oklahoma State University, 2001.
Dissertation: Introgressive Hybridization Between Native and Non-Native Smallmouth Bass in Oklahoma

Research through the Oklahoma Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit focused on the development and use of molecular markers in the assessment of genetic structure of smallmouth bass populations in eastern Oklahoma reservoirs where non-native stocks of the species had been introduced.

Master of Science

Fort Hays State University, 1997.
Thesis: Historical Changes in the Fish Assemblages of the Republican River Drainage

Bachelor of Arts

Biology

Benedictine College, 1995.

Undergraduate research provided baseline winter bird data for a Corps of Engineers wetland mitigation site (Benedictine Bottoms) on the Missouri River.

Current Research

With support from the Corps of Engineers, my students and I are currently working with Dr. Mark Dixon at the University of South Dakota to assess the impacts of the 2011 flood on the riparian plant communities along segment 13 of the Missouri River.  Students on this project have been trained to collect vegetation data using quadrat, line-intercept, and point-quarter methodology.  Students have also learned plant identification strategies, voucher specimen preparation, and database management and analysis tools.  My research at Benedictine is constructed with the view that our students need opportunities to step outside of the classroom to apply what they have learned and develop additional, practical skill sets.  Through the years, these experiences have proven to be extremely valuable as our students move into medical schools, graduate programs, and employment.  Any of our majors that wish to pursue research at Benedictine will be given the opportunity.
