In June two significant chapters concluded: I graduated with my Masters of Environmental Policy after 3-years as a part-time student at Bard College, and my 7-year service at Riverkeeper came to an end. After two months as a contractor, I began full-time at the Hudson River Watershed Alliance (HRWA) as the Watershed Program Specialist on Halloween. The mission of the HRWA is to unite and empower communities to protect our shared waters, and across the Hudson River watershed to support watershed groups, help communities work together on water issues, and communicate as a collective voice. I spent most of 2022 as a volunteer Field Coordinator knocking nearly 2,500 doors in support of climate organizer Sarahana Shrestha’s campaign for New York State Assembly. Otherwise, I continue to live in Kingston, New York, and spend my free time hiking in the Catskill Mountains, exploring used bookstores, and cooking with my housemates.
