About Me

I am a senior at Washington University in St. Louis.  This may, I graduated with a BA in environmental studies (with a concentration in biology) and Hebrew.  Next fall, I will attend the joint Master’s program in plant conservation and biology between Northwestern and the Chicago Botanic Garden.  I worked in the Knight Lab for the last year. As an undergraduate, I was actively involved in two environmental organizations on campus, the Committee for Environmental Quality and Green Action (for which I served as the treasurer for the past 2 years).  Outside of academics, I am an active runner and I compete in marathons, half-marathons, and 10Ks.
