I am a graduate student in the VCU School of Life Sciences and Sustainability, where I’m focused on bringing my project management, data analytics, and leadership experience to the fields of environmental conservation and research.

I am also a grants administration professional with over 14 years of experience applying for and managing grant-funded research from a variety of federal, foundation, and industry sponsors. In addition to my grants background, I bring several years of experience in reporting and data analytics, supporting strategic decision-making and program evaluation.
