I started working with Washington Fish and Wildlife as a hatchery specialist shortly after graduating. During my last year I have worked in rearing many species of salmonids and White Sturgeon.

I am in my 19th year as the C.C. Winn Endowed Chair for Quail Research at the Caesar Kleberg Wildlife Research Institute, Texas A&M University - Kingsville. My seventh book Quantitative Analyses in Wildlife Science was published by Johns Hopkins University Press this fall, coedited with another Humboldt Alum, Dr. Bruce Marcot.

In 1991 16 years after graduating from Humboldt (never having worked in Fisheries Biology), I graduated from Northwestern Health Sciences University with a doctorate in Chiropractic. After 23 years of running a human chiropractic practice, I went to Options for Animals School of Animal Chiropractic. I now practice exclusively on horses, dogs, cats, and whatever else is presented to me (with a spine, of course). So I feel like I have come full circle, in a way. I live in Duluth MN (my native state) withe my husband, Harry Cottrell, who is a native of Arcata, CA, also a graduate of Humboldt. We have two adult sons, and have always had pets, of course. We still visit Humboldt County.

After graduation from HSU I went to Utah State for a Masters in Civil and Environmental Engineering. Upon graduation from USU, I was hired by Brown and Caldwell Consulting Engineers (BC), in their Pasadena, CA office. I have continued working with BC for the past 41 years. They have treated me well and provided some wonderful professional opportunities. My specialty has been wastewater treatment.Besides, Pasadena, I’ve lived and worked in Salt Lake City, Dallas, Seattle, and now Phoenix. I’ve also participated on projects in Vancouver,B.C., Washington D.C, New York, Nashville, San Francisco, to name a few. I will be mostly retiring in the next year or so but will continue working part-time.

From Humboldt, I mined to New York City, quite a change, where I first worked as the Adult Development & Training Administrator for the Girl Scout Council of Greater NY. I left to become a Senior Administrator for a private independent camp in the Adirondacks. During that time, I worked on my Master of Arts in Teaching & a Biology 7-12 credential. I spent my last 20 years in NY teaching Science, Ecology, in middle schools . I have now retired to Western Washington, where I have been working with the local college in their fish lab. Mostly, though, have been enjoying retirement and exploring my new environment with my adventure cat and kayak.
