Non-equilibrium Dynamics Across Space and Time IGERT
University of Minnesota
Minneapolis, MN



I received my undergraduate degree in Civil Engineering (Environmental Emphasis) from Virginia Tech (go Hokies!). In addition to a lot of hiking, I assisted a doctoral student in studying the affects of chemical shocking on sludge deflocculation. From there I moved out to the University of Minnesota and studied the biodegradation of haloacetic acids for my Master's degree. After graduating and working as a consulting engineer for four years, I returned to academia this fall. My interests are in natural systems (especially wetlands) and how they can influence water quality and treatment. Hobbies include reading, gardening, quilting, and trap shooting.
