She earned her PhD in Plant Physiology from Cornell University and was a post-doctoral associate at the University of Missouri before making the transition to law. In addition to her law school teaching experience, she has taught in the graduate ecology program at UC Davis, in the College of Natural Resources at UC Berkeley, and at the Bren School of Environmental Science and Management at UC Santa Barbara. She has been a principal investigator on several interdisciplinary grants; has co-authored papers with economists, sociologists, ecologists, conservation biologists and others; and has been a member of three National Research Council review committees.

She then clerked for Judge Diarmuid F.
