I am an environmental conservationist, naturalist, tree advocate, and nyc parks super steward (NAVigator, advanced stewardship). I've got about 10 years under my belt as of 2024 with community organizing for cleanups, and attendance at many park beautification and invasive species removal events. I'm co-founder of the Friends of Inwood Hill Park Annual Earth Day Festival (10th year in 2025!) And I'm an active tree-care member of trees in Hell's Kitchen (loosly connected with the Hell's Kitchen Conservationists Corps, founded last year). All my work is voluntary - I am not a scientist. But my work is recognized by NYC Parks, having received the Sally Fisher Excellence in Stewardship award in front of my peers earlier this year.
