Her research interests are in fisheries biology, and she currently is a principal investigator on an NSF-funded project titled: "Undergraduate Mentoring in Environmental Biology" along with PI's from Medgar Evers College and the American Museum of Natural History. Her students work on research projects during the year at St. Francis College and during the summer at the American Museum of Natural History on conservation genetics. She is also the vice-president of a local organization called the Metropolitan Association of College and Unviersity Biologists, and is on the executive board of the NY-Metro chapter of the Assoication for Women in Science. She is very interested in laboratory education, because it makes the abstract real to the student. She teaches general biology lecture and lab, ecology and genetics. All her students are required to do independent lab research projects for these courses. She has written several articles for Labstracts outlining some of these projects. She would like to assist ABLE in carrying forth its mission in providing new and interesting high-quality laboratory experiences for students.
