Dr. L. Flaherty is an extremely knowledgeable and professional employer who greatly cares for the success of her students and employees. Furthermore, I cannot recommend her enough, and if you are given the chance to work/learn for/from her, take it. She is incredibly kind and always willing to answer questions, fostering the love for knowledge.

The work with Dr. Flaherty in her lab was extremely enjoyable and well worth it. I gained a lot of experience in both laboratory and fieldwork, and I know I will be able to apply those skills in my academic career and possibly further. Dr. Flaherty was great with communication and flexible with scheduling. I definitely recommend working with her to anyone interested.
