I grew up on the East Coast and spent several years in the beautiful mountain state of West Virginia before moving to Portland in 2017. I'm thoroughly enjoying getting familiar with the local flora and fauna, and am out as often as I can exploring the incredible natural beauty that is the Pacific Northwest.

I've also been lucky enough to make a career of my passions. In my role at the East Multnomah Soil and Water Conservation District, I help residents develop native plant gardens, remove invasive species, create pollinator habitat, manage storm water, and reduce chemical use in the landscape. I also advise on and manage grant programs that fund local restoration efforts. There's always more to learn and do, and I feel privileged to be part of this amazing community.
