I am thrilled to be joining the 30 Mile team as the Land Use Coordinator. Growing up in central Maine and spending time at my family’s camp on Kezar Lake in Lovell sparked a lifelong love and passion for protecting and preserving Maine’s lakes.
I graduated from University of Maine at Farmington with a B.S. in Environmental Science in 2024. While at Farmington, I interned with the Friends of the Cobbossee Watershed surveying lakes for invasive aquatic plants. After graduating, I served two AmeriCorps terms, the first at Green Mountain Conservation Group in New Hampshire, where I conducted water quality monitoring on lakes and streams, led environmental education programs, and even worked on some molecular biology projects. The second AmeriCorps term was with Maine DEP’s Watershed Management Unit, where I collaborated with lake associations to plan and complete six watershed surveys, draft watershed reports and plans, and assist in diverse fieldwork, including cross-training with other units.
As Land Use Coordinator, I will be implementing programs and activities related to erosion prevention and control. Projects include but are not limited to organizing and conducting watershed surveys, writing watershed-based protection plans, providing technical assistance, and overseeing Section 319 Clean Water Act grants. I’m thrilled to join the 30 Mile team, build on my work in watershed management, and contribute to protecting Maine’s natural resources.
Outside of work, you’ll find me kayaking, hiking, playing ultimate frisbee, contra dancing, gardening, painting, cross country skiing, crocheting—anything that gets me outside or lets me create!
