Annabel Lee Major
Invasive Species Project Coordinator

Annabel took over as the project coordinator for the Invasive Species Project in September 2007.

Her qualifications include a M.S. in Wildlife Biology and a background in outreach and interpretation. This will enable the project to transition from the development of a web presence (which is completed) to a focus on outreach and knowledge transfer.

In January 2008, Annabel took on a double role with the unit when she enrolled as a Ph.D. student.
