“  Assistant Professor at Florida International University College of Law. Previously I was a VAP in Environmental Law at the Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University. I received both my J.D. and Ph.D. in Genetics from the University of Arizona. I have a desire to work at the intersection of science and public policy, updating our laws to better reflect scientific realities. I want to better understand and affect the American system of wildlife conservation from the ground up: from field work and wet-lab genetics all the way up to Congressional Acts and Supreme Court cases.  ”
