About Me

I completed my PhD in 2005 from Vanderbilt University. I am currently the Environmental, Health, and Safety Manager at a University in TN, which is a practitioner position. I love the hands-on aspects of my job and being able to see the results from programs and procedures that I have developed and put into place. I also love learning and try to learn something new everyday. I enjoy traveling, laughing with friends and family, playing wii, canoeing and camping, a little amateur acting, and striving to make a difference in the world.
