Professor and nonprofit leader by day—dreamer of fluffy cows, paddling ducks, and adorable sheep by heart. Passionate about sustainability, social justice, and growing both gardens and communities.
This role connects directly with my leadership at BioQUEST and with my own genomics teaching.
I’m grateful for the invitation and energized to collaborate with GEP colleagues during this next phase of growth.

She kept everyone engaged with examples ranging from Legos and Vicks VapoRub… to QSAR, microwave-assisted synthesis, and yes—even fart smell. That’s how you make chemistry memorable. 🔬✨

Apples need pruning work, ducks are happy with a clearer pond, and I’m grateful for the food + lessons this year. Onward to Maru’s Meadows. 🌱💚

Peaches were the stars — so many that I had to thin them mid-season. Flash frozen for winter PEACH CRISP (better than apple crisp, fight me). 🍑🔥
