Christy is currently pursuing a master’s degree in Ecology and Environmental Sciences at the University of Maine, working on research that aims to develop a more integrated approach to jointly managing Maine’s forests and wildlife habitat. She is also participating in the Enhancing Conservation Science NSF Research Traineeship. From the Philadelphia area, but having spent time in Oregon, Utah, and a nomadic year traveling from California across the southern US and up the east coast to Maine, she is interested in developing effective strategies for advancing conservation and climate resiliency. Along with over ten years of professional experience working in the operations and administrative space for conservation-focused nonprofit and government teams, Christy has a BA in General Science with a concentration in Biology from Rutgers University and an Ecosystem Measurements and Data Analysis graduate certificate from Penn State.
