Aimee C. Wyrick-Brownworth, MSc, is Dean of the School of Sciences and Professor of Biology at Pacific Union College in Angwin, Napa County, California. She earned her MSc in Organismal Biology and Ecology from the University of Montana, where she studied the effects of introduced trout on native amphibian populations. Since joining PUC in 2004, Aimee has worked on a wide range of restoration and research projects focused on introduced, invasive, and rare plant species in the Napa Valley. Most recently, she and her students have established monitoring plots in the PUC forest, investigated salamander ecology in the wildlands surrounding campus, and partnered with Boston University on an oak woodland restoration project in the Napa Valley. Aimee teaches undergraduate courses in general biology, conservation biology, plant taxonomy, and geology, and she serves as curator of the PUC Herbarium (PUA). She is an active member of the California Native Plant Society and the Land Trust of Napa County. In October 2020, Aimee and several co-PIs were awarded an NSF-PEN grant, which has supported the digitization of PUC herbarium specimens, including the college’s extensive collection of Napa County species. She enjoys good food, gardening, and traveling—especially when shared with her husband, Gregory.
