Bio/Interests: I'm an environmental scientist that works for the CA Department of Water Resources! I am an ecologist for the Riverine Stewardship Program, and manage grants for urban stream restoration and fish passage projects. I got my undergrad in Ecology and Evolution from UC Santa Cruz and I have an interest in process based restoration, project management, and public outreach. I want to increase my knowledge in my areas of interest, as well as permitting, CEQA, GIS, and R, and hope to attend grad school in the future to accomplish this. I seek to incorporate diversity, equity, inclusion into my work and to one day be a good role model for young aspiring female ecologists of color!
