My passion is guiding, mentoring and providing opportunities for young, driven leaders to create a more sustainable future. I started "Genvironment" in response to hearing my own students innovative, thoughtful and inspiring ideas to change the world and their frustration with feeling like they have to wait until they’re adults to do something meaningful. I believe young people have the power to make a difference now.

I am delighted to be joining CPYC’s team as it aligns with this mission to equip young people with the skills and knowledge to create a more resilient, sustainable world. I have worked as an environmental and science educator for the past 14 years at various non-profit organizations, museums and schools, including the Hewitt School for Girls, the American Museum of Natural History and the Central Park Zoo, with young scientists and environmentalists of all ages.

I have an Hons. BSc. in Environmental Science from McGill University and an MA in Environmental Conservation Education from New York University, in which I focused on how digital storytelling can empower youth to become leaders in sustainability.

I am also a new mom of two fun-loving, curious and kind little boys.
