About me
I am the Coordinator of the Chiwaukee-Prairie Illinois Beach Lake Plain Collaborative. I assist the Collaborative with their organizational needs, seeking funding sources for habitat management and conservation strategies, and overall project management in the Lake Plain. I also assist in management and stewardship of the Lake Plain Natural Areas with agency staff, non-profits, and volunteers. I am a botanist by trade and did my Master's thesis on the vegetation of the Lake Plain (University of Wisconsin-Parkside, Masters of Biology with a Concentration in Ecology, Evolution, and Conservation). Lake Michigan coastal species are my favorites of course!
