I received my Masters Degree in Environmental Science and Sustainability with a concentration in GIS from Loyola University Chicago in 2023. I’m excited to be returning to NLDC as the Lead Conservation Technician. Last summer I was an intern and had a fulfilling time working hard on the lakes. My favorite activity was rearing the Neogalerucella beetles for the biocontrol of purple loosestrife. I’m looking forward to diving deep into the world of Wisconsin’s aquatic plants with our new team!
