I love working with people and Purdue University! My job combines both to create a set of challenges unique to Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant. On the fellowship side, I am the contact person for all awards that must go IISG. I am here to help students; answer questions, proofread statements, keep candidates informed of the fellowship status.

On the research side, I assist Dr. Tomas Höök and Carolyn Foley with everything IISG-related. I am a keeper of the books; maintaining the continually-growing database of PIs.

The Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant combines research, education and outreach to empower southern Lake Michigan communities to secure a healthy environment and economy. View IISG Impacts (pdf .02mb) for success stories and program activities.
