What do you like about living in the Pacific Northwest?

From the coast to the mountains, I love how easy it is to explore new ecosystems and find new plants. I also really appreciate our cozy and/or mysterious weather punctuated by Seattle summers on the lakes and the Sound.

Why do you work here (at the District)?

I am passionate about ecological restoration, and am excited by opportunities to put my experience and knowledge into practice and learn more about the field alongside experienced professionals.

Bonus fact(s)!

I'm an avid baker, and hope to one day master the macaron.
