Originally from California, I moved to Oregon with my family in 2019 to get a Bachelors degree in Environmental Science at the University of Oregon. I'm currently in my senior year and am interning at the Friends of Buford Park Native Plant Nursery where I assist with various projects, both assisting with day-to-day operations and iNat projects. I work for the Student Sustainability Center at the UO as a coordinator for the University's community garden and love teaching students about the beauty of the plant world.

I'm hoping to get my Masters in Botany and Plant Pathology at OSU before beginning my career in conservation botany in Oregon!
