I manage the Chemistry department's safety program and serve as the research lab manager for the department faculty.
I am currently working of writing my Master's thesis tentatively titled 'Allelopathic synergistic effects of the Spotted Knapweed exudate (+-)-catechin on native grass root elongation."
I also enjoy leading tours exploring native wildflowers in the spring with the Kittitas Environmental Education Network in Umtanum Canyon.
