I am interested in the population ecology of birds, vertebrate natural history, and animal distribution patterns. In recent years have mentored student research focusing on a variety of topics including avian behavior and ecology, mammal habitat selection, and reptile distribution.

I am interested in physiological ecology with a focus on adaptations for dealing with abiotic challenges. I study water loss, metabolism, and thermoregulation, currently with the fence lizard, Sceloporus consobrinus. B.S., Ball State University; M.S., Indiana State University; Ph.D., University of California Riverside
I primarily study bats and am interested in all aspects of their ecology, genetics, and evolutionary relationships. I also use molecular biology tools to study genetic variation of other populations of wildlife. Students in my lab are currently sequencing DNA of tumor suppressor genes in bats to compare them to human DNA sequence and potentially identify why bats do not get cancer like humans. B.S. and M.S., Angelo State University; Ph.D., Oklahoma State University
Assistant Professors
My research interests are in the areas of precision agriculture, soil fertility, and soil nutrient management. I am also interested in delivering appropriate plant management systems to improve crop production. B.S., M.S., Njala University; M.S., Ph.D., Oklahoma State University
My research background pertains to the physiological and behavioral response to drugs of abuse, primarily cannabis and its components such as THC, and how genetic variance contributes to response. I use genetically altered cell lines to expand upon this work, continuing investigation to differences in physiological response in regards to metabolism and protein receptor dynamics. B.S., Southeast Missouri State University; Ph.D., The University of Tennessee Health Science Center
My research interests are in the areas of microbial resistance to pharmaceutical antimicrobials and finding novel approaches to curbing the spread and evolution of multi-drug resistant microbes. B.S., Alcorn State University; MD., University of Mississippi Medical Center

Instructors
I teach human anatomy along with other courses in the Allied Health Sciences program. I am interested in all things biology, however I am passionate about the human body, including the capabilities and limitations of its working systems. As the Director of the McMahon Gross Anatomy Laboratory at Cameron University I am able to guide students through intricate dissections using cadavers in order to discover the internal structures of the body.

I have been a Registered Radiologic Technologist since 1995. My passion is watching students learn and mature. It is exciting to see students transition into excellent radiographers who are able to independently run a radiology department.
