I have always known that I wanted a career related to both humans and the environment, and my undergraduate studies in environmental science only solidified that belief. At Herrera, I have the opportunity to work with incredible, like-minded people on a wide range of projects, whether by doing fieldwork or writing reports. Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, crocheting, and hanging out with my friends.

Education:

B.S. Environmental Science and Resource Management, University of Washington

Favorite Quote:

“Wildfire cannot destroy the prairie grass/When the spring winds blow, they bring it back to life.”- Bai Juyi

Favorite Species:

Dark-eyed junco (Junco hyemalis). They’re the perfect shape (small and round), look like they’ve been dipped in white paint, and I get to see and hear them every day. What’s not to love?
