I excelled in the course, and found that it augmented my Master's in Biology. While teaching Botany at the University, I came upon a student with... Read More

Microbiology

I have a Masters degree in Biology from Northern Arizona University. I taught Botany at a college level, and was involved with and gave presentations at the Arizona-Nevada Academy of Science. I performed a full course of study in Microbiology while in graduate school, and recently completed the breadth of labs of the Basic Training Manual for VUMicro.

Nutrition

Previous to a Masters in Biology, I acquired a Bachelors in Science, focusing on Living Systems. My education base focused on health, in terms of body and mind, a great deal of which was reflected in nutrition. Life experience in the study of nutrition for self and others has broadened my horizons. I have cared and prepared fresh and frozen meals for individuals (youth and elderly) with a wide range of needs or disabilities, from stroke to cancer and Alzheimer's. I tailor nutritional support for... Read More
