Biography

My background is primarily in conservation and public land management, but my interests lie at the intersection of conservation, public engagement, and communication. After graduating from UC Davis in 2018 with a B.S. in Environmental Science and Management, I began a fellowship with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, where I ended up working as a conservation planner for the National Wildlife Refuge System. After four years with the Service, I decided to enroll in the Environmental Communication program with MESM to better understand how communication and public engagement play a role in conservation. I am thrilled to be working with DWELL Lab during my time at URI, and I look forward to collaborating with students and faculty, exploring new ways of thinking, and spending some time in the Northeast!
