                Biography
            Dr. Fork (they/she) started at WCU in Fall 2021. They teach introductory labs and upper-level Ecology-related courses in the Biology Department and do research on the ecology of urban and aquatic ecosystems.
When not trying to find answers to ecological questions or helping students learn about biology and ecology, Dr. Fork loves making and eating new foods, making and listening to music, reading sci-fi books, and playing board games.
