Turning backyards into ecosystems through technology, education, and dirty fingernails. I’m a Cornell Master Naturalist with a background in neurobiology and translational science (NYU, UCSF, UC Berkeley), now combining applied ecology with a curiosity about how and why people take action. As VP at Wildr, I build digital tools and programs that help homeowners turn “I want to help nature” into confident action. I also co-teach Design Your Wild workshops, guiding people see their yards as biodiverse, restorative spaces they actually want to spend time. In the Hudson Valley, NY, I’m deeply involved in local conservation, eco-hunting, watershed initiatives, and policy advocacy.
