I am a freshman at Davidson College interested in majoring in the sciences. I have been interested in snakes ever since I was young and have more recently begun to nourish that growing interested. I assist in running the Herpetology lab drift fence, and I take care of the outreach animals in the lab.

This past spring I tried my hand at breeding corn snakeswith eleven of thirteen babies surviving.

From July to November of 2006, during my senior year at Grimsley High School in Greensboro, North Carolina, I performed a population survey of two streams in Guilford County. I compared what I found to my results from basic stream quality tests (i.e. pH, dissolved oxygen, etc.) to determine if there was any corralation between water quality and herp populations.
