I am a PhD student in Horticulture and Agronomy at UC Davis, working in the Gaudin Lab. I hold a BA in Sustainable Community Development and Agroecology from Green Mountain College, and am near completion of my MSc in International Agricultural Development from UC Davis. For my masters, I work in the Crump Agricultural Equity Lab on a project supporting evaluation capacity of the agricultural extension team at UC Davis Chile. Prior to coming to UCD, I supported agricultural development projects with the Andean Alliance for Sustainable Development in Calca, Peru and managed urban farms with the Tenderloin Neighborhood Development Corporation in San Francisco. My research focuses on extension and education systems that support agroecology. Within COAR, I coordinate the Plant, Environmental and Agroecology Sciences (PEAS) undergraduate fellowship at UC Davis and will support adapting the Tool for Agroecology Performance Evaluation (TAPE) for application in California farming systems.
