IMG_3874Born and raised just outside of Boston. I studied biology and environmental science at Colby College. At Colby, I had the opportunity to study at the Centre International d’Etudes Françaises (CIEF) in Dijon, France and in Arusha, Tanzania with the School for International Training (SIT). Seeing the challenges in urban planning in Tanzania drove me to pursue studies in Sustainable International Development at Brandeis University and doctoral field work and studies in water and sanitation in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania at King’s College London.  I live in Boston and spend quite a bit of time in DC.  In addition to professional activities, I volunteer at MIT, obsess over New England sports, and do a little gardening in the summer. I also take a few photographs during my local and international trips– here’s my Flickr photo album.
