I am a recent graduate from the University of Colorado, Boulder with a Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Studies.  Currently, I am seeking a professional graduate certificate in Earth Data Analytics-Foundations.

Growing up in a small ski town in Colorado influenced my love for nature and desire to preserve the environment. Throughout the years I have had the opportunity to travel around the world and live in many beautiful places while working in the tourism and hospitality industry.  

I volunteer with the Arizona Trail Association to help protect, maintain, enhance, promote and sustain the Arizona Trail because I believe outdoor recreation is such an important way for people to be able to connect with the natural world.  With my recent degree and future certificate, I am hoping to transition into a career addressing the use of natural resources and the impacts that humans have on them.  

I currently reside in Tucson, Arizona, and hope that my new skills will help me explore opportunities with urban and regional planning, especially in a desert environment.
