I am a recent graduate of Middlebury College working as a Conservation Planner for VACD. Funded through the Lake Champlain RCPP, I write conservation plans, with a focus on water quality, for farms that are conserved or are in the process of being conserved in the South Lake priority watershed. As well, I work with South Lake partners to implement Best Management Practices on farms in the watershed. I love that my work is partnership driven (VLT, VHCB, NRCS, DEC, VAAFM, UVM Ext. and beyond) and I know that strengthening these partnerships will be critical to accomplishing our goals in the state.

I grew up in rural upstate New York and moved to Vermont when I was in college. Throughout my 20s I worked on a variety of different farms, completed the apprenticeship in ecological horticulture at UC Santa Cruz, and farmed for myself for a few years on a rented farm. At 29 I began a graduate program in rural development. While working on my dissertation I fixed up an old farm in southeastern Vermont, but have not yet begun farming there in earnest. For the past two years I have been a visiting faculty member at New York University, where I teach about food systems. This spring I will be a visiting researcher at the Center for Rural Research in Norway. I am eager to settle back in Vermont and to get involved with all the good work that is going on building sustainable food systems here.
