  My Ph.D. dissertation project—Energy use and nutrient cycling in pig production systems—was a life cycle assessment of Iowa pig production systems. In this project I quantified and compared energy and nutrient flows through different pig production models. This work lead to publication of 3 peer reviewed journal articles. \n\nAs a graduate student I also developed a taught a course—Livestock Production for Niche Markets. I also was a teaching assistant for a variety of courses—Working with Animals (lab)
