Born and raised in South Carolina, youngest of 3 children. I've been an academic gypsy and have lived in both Carolinas, Georgia, Colorado, Arizona, South Dakota, and Texas. I've lived in Lubbock and been faculty at TTU since 2000. I've traveled throughout the U.S. and have also been to Australia, Canada, Costa Rica, England, France, Kenya, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Scotland, and The Netherlands. You can check out my Flickr albums of photos from Kenya here (2023); Panama here (2025), here (2022) and here (2021); and Costa Rica here (2018), here (2017), and here (2015).

My interests and hobbies include birding, photography, watching sports, cooking, playing piano, and running.

Nana-Esi Hanson

Ph.D. student


Originally from Ghana, Nana-Esi earned her B.Sc. in Natural Resources Management from Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology in Ghana. She then completed her M.S. in Biology at Fort Hays State University, Kansas, where her research examined how anthropogenic noise, specifically highway traffic noise, affects avian reproductive success, using the Northern House Wrens as a focal species. Her Ph.D. explores the dynamics of playa wetlands and how they respond to land cover change and climate variability. She will use remote sensing and GIS to map surface water availability over time, evaluate which playas are stable versus highly variable, and assess how surrounding land cover influences playa wetland persistence. By linking wetland dynamics with climate data and migratory bird occurrence records, her work will provide critical insights into how these small but vital stopover habitats are changing, information that can inform conservation planning and land management strategies. Outside of her academic work, Nana-Esi enjoys birding and travelling.
