Cody at Yellowstone National Park

Tell us about yourself. I’m an NPR aficionado, news and policy fanatic, and recent graduate of George Mason University.

What do you do here at DEB? I’m a Program Assistant with DEB. I work to plan and organize panels for the Evolutionary Processes and Systematics and Biodiversity Science clusters. I help arrange travel for panelists, coordinate meeting logistics, and troubleshoot any technical issues that may arise.

Where are you from? Richmond, Virginia.

Which member of the Scooby-Doo gang do you most identify with? Definitely Velma! I have an orange sweater, lose my glasses often, and tend to be a bit dorky.

What do you like about working here? I love the environment and the people here at the National Science Foundation. I’ve been here less than a year, but everyone has been nice and welcoming.
