Brief Bio

I have always been interested in the vast area of conservation. I believe that a multi-disciplinary approach is needed to address the complicated concerns that face our expanding population in a shrinking world. I am especially interested in understanding and one day managing diseases that emerge or re-emerge between the interface of human and animal populations.
