I love nature: Science, adventure, activity, peace, conservation, history, and the interconnectedness of it all!

Nitty Gritty:
I work at Sonoma State University's Center for Environmental Inquiry and UCCE Sonoma's Sudden Oak Death outreach program. My M.S. research was on interactions between SOD and insects on its foliar host, California Bay Laurel. I also serve as Secretary on the Board of Directors for the California Native Plant Society (CNPS) Milo Baker Chapter and as an Advisor to the North Bay Science Discovery Day. Lastly, I coordinate a seasonal field researcher project for the Sonoma County Right-of-Way project with The Pollinator Partnership.
