Favorite Class or Professor 

Kimberley Patton’s “Birds in the Ancient World” was a wonderful reminder of academia’s potential to create space for genuinely curious exploration of an unknown world. 

Message of Thanks  

Kimberley Patton, David Carrasco, David Holland, and Dan McKanan were particularly valued mentors at HDS. And of course, I couldn’t have gotten here without the immeasurable support of the teachers, friends, and family who have crafted my first 25 years. 

Future Plans 

I will be working in external relations for the Colorado Cattlemen’s Agricultural Land Trust, helping to bridge agricultural and environmental conversations.
