About Me
- Name: Susan
- Location: Bar Harbor, United States
I grew up on an island off the coast of Maine, in a house with wood heat and cold running water. After high school I took some time off to work and travel, culminating in a three-week trip to Peru where I discovered my fascination with the rain forest and my passion for conservation. I got my B.A. from Carleton College in Minnesota, with a double major in music and biology. Afterwards, my older sister and I hiked the Appalachian Trail from Maine to Georgia and back again. I finished my doctorate at the University of Connecticut in 2008, studying tropical ecology. From January 2009 to June 2011 I taught undergraduate study abroad courses in biology and conservation in Costa Rica. From 2011 to the spring of 2017, I was a professor of Environmental Studies at Purchase College (SUNY), and now I have fulfilled the dream of returning to the island where I grew up. I teach Plant Biology at College of the Atlantic. Life is good.

Dear blog readers,
despite what you see in the awkwardly-angled photo above, I actually do not have a Friar Tuck haircut. Susan, please photoshop in a hat or wig or something.
Thanks,
Dennis
