I grew up on my parent’s alpaca farm in the Connecticut river valley of Vermont. Getting an interest in the natural world, I then went to Clark University to study environmental science and geography where I focused on remote sensing and forest ecology.

After interning at a regional land trust in central Massachusetts, I moved back home to pursue research at the Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory where I now study grasses through the lens (pun intended) of remote sensing.

Favorite SFS Memory: I will never forget the night dives. 10/10 will always recommend.
