I am from Maryland, the Land of Pleasant Living, where I attended St. Mary's College of Maryland and worked on an oyster farm and an organic veggie farm while getting a degree in Math and Rugby.

I unexpectedly fell in love with shellfish, and so I am now doing my thesis project in cooperation with Kentucky Fish & Wildlife on nutrition sources for juvenile native freshwater mussels.

While here at Kentucky State I am turning all of my learning and experiences towards my real passion, which is sustainable agri-aqua-polyculture and especially small-scale and urban aquaponics and constructed wetlands for wastewater treatment.
