Her research focuses on the role of marine snow in the transmission of pathogens to commercially important, suspension-feeding, bivalve mollusks such as clams and oysters. In 2003, the U.S. Coast Guard moved her family to Oregon so they (husband and 2 daughters ages 9 and 7) now balance a bi-coastal lifestyle, splitting time between Oregon and Connecticut (addresses listed below).
