Research Statement

My research interests are Geographic Information Systems, spatial analytical methods, medical geography, landscape ecology, landscape change, and gender equity in STEM. My students and I apply combined field, laboratory, GIS and remote sensing, and computer modeling techniques. I teach GIS courses at both the undergraduate and graduate level.
