​Welcome!
​
I am currently a lecturer and and a research associate at the University of Maryland College Park.

As a lecturer, with the Department of Entomology, I teach undergraduate introductory courses for majors and non-majors, as well as a masters level course.

​My research focuses on the impacts of different global change phenomena (e.g., climate change, floods, habitat destruction, pollution) on the distribution of genetic variation in species, as well as the distribution of different species, across space and time. And understanding human elements of species change and  management of degraded habitats.

On the one hand, I am broadly interested in landscape genetics/genomics, phylogeography, climate change, species range dynamics, dispersal ecology, and species tolerance. And I use integrative approach (molecular, geospatial tools (GIS, modeling), field experiments and ecotoxicological screenings) for answering research questions.

On the other hand, I am devising ways to get indigenous people involved in ecosystem management and restoration of degraded systems. I do this through some form of citizen science; survey data collection, educational campaigns, raising awareness, and engineering local grassroots projects.
​
I have past, ongoing, and future research projects in West Africa (Cameroon) on mangrove ecosystems; and currently, I am working on submerged aquatic vegetation in major rivers along the US East coast. 

In addition to research, I love teaching. I have been teaching from a very young age as a teen peer educator; I was a teaching assistant while in graduate school; and continue to follow that passion as a lecturer at the University of Maryland.
