Hi! I’m a returning student at CU Boulder studying Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, transitioning from a first career in nonprofit advocacy (gender justice, voting rights, health care). My focus is plant ecology, restoration, mountain ecosystems & invasion biology, with a goal of grad school in '26.
