Prof. Torres-Roman completed her graduate and undergraduate work at Montclair State University in New Jersey. Her graduate research focused on the impacts of desalinization on New Jersey's amphibian populations. Her research focused on changes in the predatory behavior of wolf spiders, morphological analysis of aquatic invertebrates, the effectiveness of common antimicrobials on bacteria growth, and the use of GIS technology to determine vegetation changes in NJ. She has been teaching in higher education for nearly two decades, starting her professional academic career as a graduate assistant. After completing her graduate work, she joined the faculty in the College of Science and Mathematics at Montclair State University and became an adjunct faculty at Essex County College, where she supported students from under represented and minoritized communities.
