I founded the Illinois Beaver Alliance in 2021 after helping to protect a family of beavers in my village of Glenview. In 2022 I completed a certificate program in Environmental Law and Public Policy at Loyola University Chicago. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in English and History from the University of Michigan and a Master of Arts in English Literature from Northwestern University. I am a volunteer grant writer for several community-based organizations. I can be reached at
