About Me

For the past eight years, I’ve worked with The Nature Conservancy, leading projects that enhance coastal resilience, restore critical habitats, and support biodiversity. My work spans oyster restoration, living shoreline design, and innovative strategies to combat climate change impacts on our coasts.

I hold a Master’s in Marine Affairs from the University of Rhode Island and a Bachelor’s in Marine Biology from Roger Williams University. With this foundation, I combine scientific research with hands-on restoration efforts, collaborating with communities, policymakers, and fellow scientists to create lasting solutions. Whether it’s restoring degraded habitats, monitoring ecosystem health, or engaging public outreach, my goal is to ensure that Rhode Island’s coastal environments remain vibrant and resilient for generations to come.

When I’m not working on coastal restoration, you’ll find me paddleboarding along Rhode Island’s shorelines, rock climbing, hiking with my family, or gardening in my backyard.
