Interests:

Yearbook entry:

I work in environmental communications at UW Botanic Gardens in Seattle; my writing and research skills come in quite handy for a job where I do everything from writing grants to managing the website and developing outreach and education materials. I also lead environmental education programs for grade school kids at one of our outdoor sites. This year, I've become involved the Udall Foundation's "Parks in Focus" program in Arizona; we take under-served youth on week-long trips to national parks, teaching them everything from nature photography to botany, geology, and environmental science.
