Amber ChaseI am the master media shepherdess in Lilly, preparing all of the media for Biology classes. I previously worked in Horticulture as a premier plant wrangler and propagation wizard. Aside from my time helping develop and make media, I enjoy spinning, knitting, and hiking with my dog and family. One of my favorite sayings: A person who feels appreciated will always do more than expected. ~ Author Unknown Email: achase@purdue.eduPhone: 44982 |
