My title is Horticulturist, but I would probably characterize my role here as being the caretaker to the roses, living mulch specialist, and native plant enthusiast. The Arnold has an incredible history of plant-loving people that I really relate to. I feel lucky to work here and look forward to it every day.

For me, the Arboretum has both tangible and intangible impacts. As a scientist, I see the concrete potential our collections have for addressing important questions about biological diversity, changing climate, species interactions, and more. As someone who has spent hours simply wandering through the landscape, I know the impact this space can have on my sense of well-being, wonder, and connection with the world around me.
