I am retired from a career in environmental policy and communications, where I specialized in air pollution and climate change issues. I worked at the US Environmental Protection Agency, National Park Service, President’s Council on Environmental Quality, National Academy of Sciences, World Resources Institute, and US Department of Transportation. Now I am studying to become a Master Naturalist, creating native plant gardens at home, removing invasive plants at the American Chestnut Land Trust, and raising native bees and butterflies. I love to travel.
