Greetings fellow Piersonites! Having graduated from Pierson and Yale in 2012 after secretly majoring in field trips, I am thrilled to be back at the School of Forestry and Environmental Studies for my masters in environmental science. Between degrees, I started a company, WriteLegacy, producing biographies for families and while doing so, have attempted to travel as much as possible both in the United States and abroad.

As a graduate affiliate, I hope to continue to get to know many of my fellow Piersonites and to help host events from wine tastings to art classes to hikes and bike rides around New Haven.

So come find me in the dining hall- that wonderful heart of Pierson- and we can have a conversation about writing, start-ups, travel, environmental school, urban design and ecology, New Haven, sciences/humanities connections, higher education philosophy, and myriad of other things!
