I'm a conservation project manager with a passion for building resilient communities, sustainable agriculture, and community economic development. I started my career in local government, and now work with state and local partners to create on-the-ground projects that further holistic conservation goals. I'm also a certified North Carolina Environmental Educator, and love connecting people with their community and environment.

I grew up in western North Carolina and have spent most of my adult life in Chapel Hill, where I serve on the board of the Friends of Chapel Hill Parks, Recreation, and Greenways. I enjoy singing with the Choral Society of Durham, gardening, knitting, and getting outside.
