Education: |
BA in British history from Columbia University and Oxford University; Masters in Conservation Biology from Columbia University. Graduate coursework in "Hypermedia" at Paris VIII (in French), and in Psychological Counseling at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in NYC. When I have an interest I tend to seek further education and I am a strong advocate of life long learning in various forms. I am a very quick study able to master and synthesize large amounts of information in the service of research, policy analysis, outreach, or professional reports and grants. I move freely between the worlds of science and the humanities and enjoy "translating" across subject boundaries. I am an excellent writer and articulate communicator, and I enjoy learning foreign languages.
