During Fall Semester I teach General Ecology (BIOL 2801) Ecology Laboratory (BIOL 2802). During Spring Semester I teach Plant Taxonomy (BIOL 3603) and Ecological Invasions (BIOL 4805). My other duties include academic advising of undergraduate Biology majors and supervision of the Olga Lakela Herbarium. My research centers on a wide variety of plant ecology investigations in the region, as well as ongoing attempts to more completely document the vascular flora of the region by looking for novelties. My outreach consists mostly of assisting the community with plant identification, but sometimes extends to other topics.  I have served on several advisory committees for Minnesota government agencies.
