- M.S., Yale University
- USDA Forest Service
- An environmental educator is like a translator. We work with scientists to understand the natural world, and then we put scientific concepts into everyday language so people can better understand. As part of the Artemis Moon Trees project, I help people learn about the effects of space travel on tree seeds and tree growth.
