I am a master’s student in the Soil & Crop Science department focusing my research on soil health. Currently I am researching the effects of cover cropping and compost additions on soil health in water-limited regions, specifically Colorado and New Mexico. I am especially interested in interdisciplinary approaches to agroecological research including participatory research, educational outreach, and community driven projects. Prior to attending Colorado State University, I graduated from Bard College with a bachelor’s degree in Environmental Science and received an educational background in performance and visual arts.
