Biography

As the Manager of Adult Programming and Events for Visitor Engagement, I work with the other wonderful staff at the Arboretum to support visitors and offer tours, lectures, events, and artistic experiences to the public.
Prior to joining the Arboretum, I worked in instructional design at the USDA and the Disabled Persons Protection Commission, and taught horticulture at community gardens, children’s gardens, and urban farms. But it has always been a dream of mine to work at a public garden like this, using learning to illuminate the incredible world of plants.
