Education

BS Environmental Horticulture, Washington State University

I manage the Arboretum’s inventory program which includes the assessment, mapping, and labeling of plants in our living collections. I also manage, update, and train others on use of our curated databases.

I regularly teach classes through the Adult Education program and conduct Arboretum and urban landscape tours.
