I grew up in and around Albuquerque, New Mexico, and while that gives me a particular fondness for deserts and other southwestern landscapes, I have so much fun exploring new places and I have found something to love everywhere I’ve lived and traveled. I studied in Vermont and earned my bachelor’s in conservation psychology from Middlebury College in 2020. I’m excited to be able to work with Leopold’s land ethic because I want to understand how people interact with and think about the environment, and to see how personal connections to land might shape attitudes around conservation and sustainability more broadly. When not wandering with a camera or on my bike, I’m reading, writing, listening to music, or trying out a new vegan recipe.
