About Me

I have been the Program Manager for the Dartmouth IGERT in Polar Environmental Change since October 2008. I am new to polar issues, having been a general project manager and communications director before now, and look forward to learning more about climate change and its effect on the Arctic. I also oversee the Institute of Arctic Studies at the Dickey Center for International Understanding at Dartmouth, which hosts the IGERT.
