Professional Interests
As a geomorphologist and generalist my interests are broad. Most of my past publications stemmed largely from surficial and bedrock mapping in the State of Maine. My interests include the sedimentology of Paleozoic metasediments (mostly turbidites) in New England, origin of glacial ribbed moraines, gravel beaches, and local glacial and bedrock geology. Since the birth of my daughter, fieldwork has been superseded by motherhood, teaching, and coordinating education programs.

Personal Interests
I enjoy hiking and biking--time permitting. When I can't get out I explore Web 2.0 technology to see what can be benificially integrated into the classroom.
Favorite TV shows: 30 Rock and Glee.
I've been a long term, devoted, non-member of the New England Intercollegiate Geologic Conference, which I thoroughly look forward to attending (with students) every fall.
