I am interested in zoonotic diseases in Alaskan wildlife, particularly bacterial disease. Much of my Ph.D. work went to investigating bacterial causes of embryo mortality in greater white-fronted geese. My postdoctoral research focuses on understanding the status of the disease leptospirosis in Alaskan caribou and reindeer. I would like to supplement this work and examine rodents as a possible reservoir for the disease in the state of Alaska.
