I grew up in the north hills of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania- the Paris of Appalachia- and then attended American University where I majored in C.L.E.G., an interdisciplinary major in Communications, Legal Institutions, Economics, and Government. 

During my time in Washington, D.C., I interned for American Forests, the oldest national nonprofit conservation organization in the United States where I got firsthand experience on how to track and analyze conservation policy. The following semester, I interned for U.S. Senator Bob Casey’s environmental staff that confirmed my dream to pursue a career in environmental policy.

After graduating, I moved back home to Pittsburgh to work for PennFuture, a statewide environmental nonprofit in Pennsylvania. Starting out as the Western Pennsylvania Outreach Coordinator, I was promoted to Campaign Manager and then to my current role on Senior Staff as Campaigns Director.

My passion for environmental policy stems from a deep concern for the future of our planet. I believe that proactive and strategic policies are essential in mitigating the effects of climate change and promoting sustainable practices. 

I love to quilt, read, bike ride, hike, attend ballet classes, and lose every game in my bowling league in my spare time.
