Recent Accomplishment // Facilitated the acquisition and creation of the new 4,000-acre Cheat Canyon Wildlife Management Area in West Virginia.

Outdoor Passion // Hiking, biking, running, paddling, surfing.

In Her Own Words // "For me, it’s been a great marriage of having an office job with the perk of being able to get out on the land—applying something intricate like tax codes to a landscape and working with landowners to help them accomplish their conservation goals."
