I have a deep affection for nature.  I love to be outside - to flip over rocks for salamanders, go camping in new places, and hike to great vistas. It gives me great joy to experience wild places, whether alone, with family & friends, or students.  Aside from nature, I also love traveling to new places (near or far), walking through art galleries, and trying new cuisines. Some of my favorite times are spent sharing coffee or beer and good conversation. Much of my time is spent chasing around the youngest member of the lab, who happens to be an expert at dissecting flowers and chasing squirrels.

Colette Berg, ​MNS Student (2018, Southeast MO State U)

​Colette is in a PhD position in the lab of Lila Fishman at the U of Montana! 

We've known Colette since NYC days! There she she was an undergraduate at Fordham U. After that she worked at the NY Botanical Gardens in the Willam & Lynda Steere Herbarium. Originally she hails from The Mitten (as did B Ansaldi!). Colette enjoys the great outdoors, traveling, music and art.
