If I were to give a brief description of myself I guess I would start off by mentioning I am a Quaker and have always been. The values generated to my siblings and myself from our parents have always been reinforced by the queries of the Society of Friends. (The values of family, education and work have always been deeply rooted in everything that I have ever done.)

I usually spend the majority part of the summer working in a lab or something related to science in the Natl. Institutes of Health.

The world of biodiversity has been an area that I have yet to explore. I am very excited about exploring this piece of science that I ahve no depth in. I hope to come away with some lab protocols etc. which will enable me to incorporate bio diversity in my curriculum.

As you get to know me you will find a person with an adventurous spirit and an incurable optimist.
