Biography

Originally a native of South Dakota, I came to 成人视频 in 2013. I obtained my B.S. from Arizona State University. After graduation, I spent a year in Mauritius as a Fulbright Scholar. I then completed an M.P.A. at Columbia University and a Ph.D. from Cornell University, working with Dr. Harold van Es on the nitrogen cycle with a focus on nitrous oxide emissions in agricultural fields. In between my university studies, I have had a number of different projects spread throughout both western and eastern Africa.
