I graduated from the MS Natural Resources and Ecology program at SUNY Plattsburgh in 2025. My undergraduate research projects included tree encroachment into boreal peatlands at their southern range limits, and groundwater chemistry within the Lake Champlain basin. My graduate thesis research involved quantifying nitrogen-removal services provided by living shorelines in New York City. Growing up in a large city and having a love for wetland ecology drives my passion for perusing a career in coastal and urban wetland restoration. When I’m not in the field or lab, I’m working at the local coffee shop, reading, or hiking in the High Peaks.
