Master's student with a diverse background in environmental research and data analysis. I have contributed to a wide array of projects ranging from advancing knowledge on invasive species, exploring challenges and solutions regarding the state of food security on university campuses, and engaged with both stakeholders and producers regarding research findings and observations. I am excited to study agricultural systems and explore ways through which management practices can render the field more sustainable.
