Born and raised in midcoast Maine, I am excited to work closely with the community to protect the place that I love! Outside of classes at the University of Maine, Orono, I spent my time leading outdoor trips, working as a paddling instructor, and interning at a local conservation trust. In 2024, I graduated with a B.S. in Ecology and Environmental Sciences and went on to work in Acadia National Park. During the summer, I led raptor-focused educational programs and assisted with GIS-related projects in the winter. I joined the 30 Mile staff in late April.
As the Water Quality Specialist, I will oversee monitoring of the watershed’s lakes and ponds. The collected data is used to identify possible areas at risk and to continue building our historical data set. I will also support LakeSmart volunteers and additional water-related programming, such as our septic vulnerability study. Since I was a child, I’ve spent a lot of time paddling, swimming, and exploring Maine’s lakes and ponds. I am thrilled to be part of the team working to protect Maine’s resources.
During my time off, I’m looking forward to exploring trails, swimming, rock climbing, and bird watching.
