Doctor Sandra Diamond-Tissue

Senior Lecturer in Aquatic Ecology,
Dean's Unit School of Science

Biography

I received my PhD in Fisheries Ecology from North Carolina State University in 1999, after working for the California Department of Fish and Game as a Marine Biologist for 7 years. In 1998, I began working as an academic staff member at Texas Tech University, reaching the level of Associate Professor in 2005. I have been at UWS since 2007, first as a Research Associate, then as a Lecturer. I am now a Senior Lecturer.
