Bio

I am an Environmental Science major from Brookline, Massachusetts. During my time at Dickinson, I have proudly served as the Eco-Reps Coordinator student intern at the Center for Sustainability Education, as a GIS Intern for the Geographic Information Systems Lab, and the Vice President of Membership for Pi Beta Phi. In the fall of 2018, spent a semester in Tanzania to study wildlife management. While there, I conducted research on the effectives of terrace farming as a technique to mitigate impacts of climate change in the region.

​

I have traveled across Massachusetts to explore environmental career paths in my area. I have worked for Mass Audubon as a Wildlife Intern where I monitored the populations and habitats of various threatened and endangered coastal bird species. Last summer, the majority of my time was spent at Lovin’ Spoonfuls, New England’s largest non-profit food rescue organization, as an Operations and Communications Intern. I also worked for Boyer Sudduth Environmental Consultants, LLC as a sustainability Intern.

 

I am passionate about improving relations between humans and the environment through solutions that consider sustainable livelihoods, economic prosperity, and environmental ethic.
