I am afflicted with an overactive curiosity across the social and physical sciences, technology, engineering, agriculture, and the natural world. Investigating a broad range of domains has allowed me to learn enough to understand the broad outlines of many fields, and to understand which kinds of questions are the important ones. I now try to use this knowledge to integrate information from a diversity of areas into a more unified understanding of sustainability issues.

For my formal education and work experience, I first received a bachelors degree in biology and chemistry from the University of Wisconsin – Stevens Point, followed up by a stint as a researcher examining gene expression in one of Biology’s favorite model organisms, the zebrafish. I later went on to earn masters and doctoral degrees in educational psychology from McGill University and University of Wisconsin – Madison, respectively. During my graduate studies I examined topics in social, evolutionary, and cognitive psychology, as well as doing research on teaching at the university level. In a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Ottawa, I studied human motivation, including how that relates to environmental behaviors. This position transformed into a research manager position, also at uOttawa, assisting researchers at the School of Psychology and dabbling in research across the discipline. I now do sustainability and land management work full time.

If you are interested in working with me, have questions about our farm or other topics, please get in touch with me via email.
