This could mean making a bequest in a will, naming the Cornell Lab as a beneficiary of a retirement plan or insurance policy, or even donating appreciated securities. There are many opportunities to make a gift that will enhance a donor&#8217;s financial well-being and provide support for the Lab&#8217;s mission during and beyond their lifetime. I enjoy helping people create a legacy that expresses their love for birds and nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Education<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>B.A., Economics, Wake Forest University<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Inspiration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>My interest in birds began as a young girl with backyard bird walks with my grandmother. I&#8217;ve spent my career working with mission-driven organizations and am thrilled that my path led to the Cornell Lab, where I can unleash my inner bird nerd!
