Environmental Leadership Program

I have been employed with the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department for 5 years in varying capacities. I started as the coordinator of a bald eagle reintroduction program where I supervised volunteers and oversaw onsite operations and monitoring aspects of the project. Currently, I am involved in regulatory review pertaining to critical wildlife habitat, writing the state bald eagle recovery plan, banding waterfowl, and habitat management/stewardship. My undergraduate degree is from Hampshire College and I received my MS from Antioch University. Over the past couple years, I have been a contributing writer to Under the Microscope, a National Science Foundation-funded website of The Feminist Press devoted to sharing stories, providing insights, and expanding opportunities for young women in science. In my free time, I serve as a community mentor to a 16 year old girl; I spend much of autumn hunting waterfowl and big game; I cook, garden, and serve as a working member of the local coop.
