Biography
I joined the Arboretum in January 2023 following gardening stints in my native state of Vermont and around Philadelphia. I received my degree in Sustainable Landscape Horticulture from the University of Vermont in 2017. Since then, I have worked in residential landscaping, the nursery trade and public gardens (Chanticleer and the Scott Arboretum). I’ve gleaned knowledge and inspiration from all these stops, and I am thrilled to continue to do so here at the Arnold Arboretum.
As a horticulturist I focus on the health and aesthetics of various arboretum collections including the Leventritt Shrub and Vine Garden, oaks, dwarf conifers, junipers and the rockery.
Outside of work you can find me playing basketball, mountain biking and exploring parks and gardens.
