Nancy joined the staff of ISTC in August 2006. Prior to joining the Center, Nancy worked as a substitute teacher in the Champaign Unit 4 schools and at the Unit 4 Science Center. From 1984-89, Nancy was an assistant limnologist at the IL State Geological Survey with their Lake Michigan Program. She worked on research projects on the degradation of lake trout spawning habitat in the lake and on bluff erosion. She compiled an extensive computerized bibliography on Lake Michigan research publications from the past 50 years.

Prior to moving to Champaign in 1984, Nancy was involved with various environmental research projects at the University of Minnesota, at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and at Argonne National Laboratory. Her research interests are primarily in the areas of aquatic nutrient cycling, phytoplankton and zooplankton interactions, and the effects on biota from the degradation of aquatic habitat.
