She holds an undergraduate degree in biology from Cedar Crest College and a master’s degree in environmental science and policy from Johns Hopkins University. With 18 years’ experience working in urban ecosystems, engaging communities in hands-on habitat restoration, she has focused most recently on floating wetland technology as a means of re-envisioning postindustrial waterfronts as functioning ecosystems.
