• Education:    I received my B.Sc. in Entomology and Plant Pathology, as well as my B.Sc. (Honors) and M.S. degrees in Plant Virology from The University of Natal in South Africa.
  • I then moved to the USA where I obtained my Ph.D. in Entomology from The Ohio State University.
  • My research interests are understanding the ecology of vector-borne diseases, forensic entomology, and general ecology.
• Additional Information:   I am also the Director of the HSI STEM Grant at ENMU.
• One challenge I experienced in college:   I succumbed to peer-pressure and did not seek tutoring for a key pre-requisite course.
  • This almost resulted in my failing that class and would have significantly affected my ability to remain at university.
  • I also wish I had taken more mathematics and statistics as an undergraduate
• I am a Greyhound Connection Mentor because I enjoy helping students connect with their educational and career paths.
