I provide administrative support to the Grant and Contract Finance Director, helping to manage Woodwell Climate’s diverse portfolio of programs. I prepare financial reports, ensure compliance with all grant requirements, and assist with the management of grants, subawards, and project budgets.
I am passionate about conservation and climate change mitigation strategies that emphasize collaborative, just, and equitable solutions. I have spent over five years supporting conservation nonprofits, most recently on the US team of the DRC-based Gorilla Rehabilitation and Conservation Education (GRACE) Center. At GRACE, I played key roles in fundraising and development, communications, grant writing and reporting, and financial management.
I have seen firsthand the importance of a robust administrative support system for scientific and programmatic work, especially as organizations grow. I am motivated to provide exceptional support for staff and leadership across Woodwell Climate’s program areas so that they can focus on research and building relationships for collaboration.
I earned my B.A. in creative writing from Hamilton College. I have lived in Maine and in New York’s Adirondacks, and now live back where I grew up in Central NY with my wife and several rescue pets (a dog and three cats).
