Since graduating with my PhD in behavioral neuroendocrinology in 1998, I have held post-doctoral appointments in several labs in several disciplines - at the University of Colorado School of Pharmacy I worked on the molecular mechanisms regulating DNA replication and cell-cycle arrest; in the Division of Endocrinology at the CU Health Sciences Center, I worked on coactivators and corepressors of the progesterone receptor and their role in the regulation of breast cancer. I held a National Research Council postdoctoral research position working with the USGS on the seasonal effects of endocrine disrupters and most recently worked at the Institute for Behavioral Genetics looking at the association between behavioral disorders and genes for several neurotransmitter-associated proteins. Although I am still very interested in the interaction between environmental endocrine disrupters and seasonal reproduction and the genetic and endocrine basis of behavior, since 2002 most of my professional time has been devoted to teaching. I am fascinated by the molecular and cellular mechanisms that underlie behavior and physiology and thoroughly enjoy sharing that interest with students in anatomy, physiology, and exercise physiology.
