Get to Know Me Further
I am a native of Northern Virginia/DC area (a rare fact for anyone acquainted with the “transient city”), and have had the great privilege of being close enough to several beautiful national parks, zoos, and beaches, which fostered my love of nature and conservation. Outside of my career, my educational background in biology and environmental science and policy informs my work in local volunteer organizations. In my free time, I like to cook new recipes, draw, crochet, and read.
