I have Ph.D. in Biology from Lehigh University with a focus on animal behavior and evolution. I have been teaching at Northampton for a long, long time. I teach biology, ecology, zoology, nature of the environment, backpacking, and environmental science - and I LOVE teaching. I also love the outdoors and spend as much time outside as possible. When I'm not outside in the environment, I spend my time thinking about it - about nature, about humankind's place in the environment, and our impacts on it.
