University of California at Santa Cruz
Bachelor of Arts Degree
Environmental Studies Department
I completed this four-year program with an emphasis in Agroecology in 1991. My senior thesis involved a statewide botanical garden needs assessment and subsequent design and implementation of a 50-acre natural community-based, native plant garden at the UCSC Arboretum.
Coursework: Systematic Botany, Biology, Tropical Biology, Chemistry, Agroecology, Tropical Ecology, Horticulture, Entomology, Science Communication, internships with UCSC Arboretum's native plant collection.

PhD
Environmental Studies Department
In 2002, I graduated from the Environmental Studies doctoral program in Conservation Biology at the University of California at Santa Cruz. As a graduate student, I guest lectured and was a teaching assistant in ecology courses.
My dissertation was entitled "Grazing Impacts on Native, Annual Herbs in Coastal Prairie." This research involved work with multiple public agencies, ranchers, and academics. I chose the subject because of its importance to conservation, and because it would allow me to explore the interface between science, conservation, policy, environmentalism, and agriculture. My research continues to be monitored. |
