Biography

As the Offshore Wind and Blue Economy Fellow at the University of Rhode Island Coastal Resources Center, I am embedded in the marine policy world surrounding offshore renewable energy, aquaculture, coastal resilience, and more. My work focuses specifically on communication initiatives, public engagement, and project implementation. I am passionate about responsible, equitable access to our oceans and the sustainable management of our planet’s resources. I have an extensive background in communications, having received my bachelor’s degree in journalism from Northern Vermont University — Lyndon in 2017. Since graduation, I have worked with Jackson Wild, WGBH, the United Nations Development Programme, and the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). I am currently studying to obtain my Master’s in Environmental Science and Management with a focus on environmental policy and plan to graduate in May of 2022.
