Statement of interest

Through my independent career, I have been on the faculty of a small elite liberal arts college (Amherst College), of a large research-intensive state university (Michigan State University), and now of a modestly sized school in the rural mountain west (Montana State University). This range of experiences has given me a broad perspective on science education and academic research — and the intersection of the two.

I am passionate about science education and the importance and impact of involving science students in research at an early stage. I am committed to advocating for and advancing women in science at every stage, from undergraduate students through to full professors.

I have been honored to serve on the ASBMB Council for the past three years, and I would like to continue for another term in order to help advance the goals and ideals of the society and to serve as an advocate for women and others who are underrepresented in the sciences.
