ABOUT ME

Friendly, adventurous, ambitious, determined, and creative. I am passionate about sustainability, especially in relation to food and the ocean. I adore good (local, organic, seasonal) food, music, and conversation. I am very active (run/hike/ski/swim/bike) and love the outdoors. I'm also a big NFL fan; go Niners!

I've worked in ocean conservation a bit, earned my Masters degree, and currently am in my first year of an Economics PhD program at UW School of Aquatic and Fisheries Sciences.
