My Mentors

As a graduate student at Penn State, I had the pleasure of working with some remarkable individuals including Amy Glasmeier, Rodney Erickson, and Ed Coulson . Diana Liverman introduced me to the realm of geography and inspired me to become a geographer while I was an undergraduate at Wisconsin. Thanks to all for many years of help and advice.
