I am a senior at Cornell University and I have been at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology since October of 2019. I study agricultural sciences with minors in education, plant science, horticulture, and soil science.  I am especially interested in informal education through cooperative extension systems. My passion for this field of work was cultivated through my upbringing on a fruit orchard in rural south-central Pennsylvania. In my time at the Lab, I have helped develop the Cooped Up Kids series, drafted social media posts, and written blog posts. After I graduate from Cornell, I am hoping to pursue a graduate degree in horticulture, while still working closely with cooperative extension.
