Opportunities to Join!

1. Funding. I do everything I can to get you every dollar I can even if it means skipping out on my summer salary. For every milestone you pass, you get a raise. For every paper you publish, you get a raise.

2. Need. Louisiana ranks almost dead last on every quality-of-life metric – environmental health included. There are so many challenges and within each challenge an opportunity. Come make a difference.

3. Advocacy. My passion is helping others succeed. I’ll help you reach your goals. Check out my LinkedIn Recommendations from previous students.

4. A Plan. We will hit the ground running with a plan from DAY ONE. I don’t like when people waste my time. I won’t waste yours.

5. Experience. I have contributed to the publication of 42 papers in four years. I know how to ship the product. I will help you WRITE.

6. Empathy. I was on academic probation after my first semester of college. Neither of my parents had a bachelor’s degree. I know it’s hard because I’ve been there. I taught myself to learn. I will teach you.

7. Honesty. I won’t waste your time by lying to you.

8. Team. A win for anyone in the lab is a win for everyone in the lab. We will work and learn together on purpose every day.

9. Fully stocked BSL2 lab with two digital PCR platforms. We have spared no expense setting up the lab. I’m happy to give you a tour. I have ZERO problem investing in what you need to get the work done. We have two brand new digital PCR platforms and all the associated infrastructure ready to go. Digital PCR is the future of water microbiology.

10. Mardi Gras. We know how to have a good time in Louisiana. New Orleans, one of the world’s great cities, is right down the road.
