Originally from Maryland, I found a new home in North Carolina while studying Environmental Public Health at UNC Chapel Hill. After receiving a Masters of Science in Public Health I spent a year farming and traveling abroad. I then returned to NC to teach hands-on food education in school gardens with 4-H through FoodCorps. Completing a permaculture design certification in Greensboro, NC inspired me to seek additional training in horticulture and landscape design at NC State University. I then spent four years managing a 30 acre educational farm where I engaged kids of all ages in hands-on environmental education. Now I’m taking my dedication to public health and environmental education to the next level as a fully licensed landscape architect. My greatest adventure of all is being a mom and making a life in Durham, NC!
