Background

Entomologist and Integrated Pest Management (IPM) specialist working on public health related pests, and IPM in the built environment. Integrated research, teaching, and Extension work focuses on pest ecology and reduced-hazard management of pests that negatively impact human health. IPM implementation programs address a wide spectrum of health-related pests in homes, schools, and medical facilities. I support state and government agencies regarding emerging public health pest issues, pesticide related risk reduction and pollution prevention, and vector management. I provide technical support for industry members including pest management, environmental health, and public health professionals.
I teach guest lectures on public health pest ecology and IPM, serve on graduate student committees, and host graduate and undergraduate student interns.
