About

I joined the Natural Areas Stewardship team in early 2026, after time with the Cornell Botanic Gardens construction crew. We take care of the nuts and bolts tasks of nature preserve management, and manage land and resources to protect plants, animals, and natural communities. Prior to joining the Botanic Gardens, I worked for Cornell's College of Art, Architecture, and Planning. I've also worked for over 10 years in other avenues of natural lands management, including at the Cornell Experimental Ponds, as well as with the Nature Conservancy in Florida, Connecticut, New York, and Vermont.
