I am a PhD student working with Dr. Amélie Gaudin doing research in regenerative almond systems in the Central Valley. I have a collaborative project looking at stacking multiple regenerative practices (cover crops, organic amendments, grazing, year-round cover, etc.) with many partners including Neal William's Entomology Lab and Rebecca Ryals' Soils Lab at UC Merced. I have a Bachelor's degree in Environmental Studies from UC Santa Cruz and a Master's degree in Environmental Change and Management from the University of Oxford. I also have over 10 years of agricultural management experience as a sustainability manager for producers in the Northern San Joaquin Valley.
