I am a New England transplant with a steady desert fascination. My attention often stretches from the spiky plants and resilient animals right around me, back to my favorite trees and rivers in Connecticut, and all the way to Alaska where my current research project rests. There, I study military contamination of subsistence foods on Unalaska Island. Unalaska is home to the Qawalangin Tribe and supports one of the largest fisheries in the world. While my love for academia is limited, my love for education is endless. I am excited to instruct at Sky School. But I am more excited to learn from fellow Sky School instructors and students. When I'm not working a Sky School program or on my computer, I enjoy baking bread, doing pull-ups, and playing quiet folk music on my guitar. But perhaps my favorite thing to do in this whole wide world is to walk around familiar places with new and old friends, noticing how all aspects of the natural world can sweeten up my day.
