I have been a Biology Professor at the Northern Virginia Community College, Alexandria Campus since Fall 2004.
Prior to that I worked at the USDA-ARS research station in Salinas, CA as an agricultural scientist, specifically looking at bacterial diseases on broccoli and its relatives. I taught a Botany Course at Hartnell College while doing my research, and that experience lured me back into the classroom.
This is my educational background:
PHD Plant Pathology, University of California, Davis
BS Plant Science, Penn State University
AS Environmental Science, Simon’s Rock College
