I taught at Iowa State University and taught and developed my graduate

Responsibility 

I teach Wildlife Investigational Techniques, Population Dynamics, and a 
Ways of Knowing class.  I'm also a Faculty Fellow at Chadbourne Residential 
College. 
My graduate students and I investigate a number of natural resource issues.
