Biography

I am originally from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and I have been fascinated by marine life since childhood. Dolphins, whales, fish, starfish and sea horses all caught my attention. Lake Michigan, however, does not have a large population of dolphins and whales. My interest in marine life was supported through trips to the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago and Cousteau Specials on TV. I attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison and earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Zoology. After graduation, I moved to San Francisco and began working on my Master's degree at San Francisco State University. I earned my Master of Arts degree in Marine Biology where I did some research and teaching. I realized that I enjoyed teaching more than research and looked for teaching jobs. I began teaching at Skyline College in 1990.
