I enjoy playing music with others, practicing in small dark spaces, sailing out of the marina on beautiful days, writing incessantly, moving constantly. I collect tea and anything lime green. I have a guinea pig, Chewy, who is hopelessly addicted to hay.My research interests are in the intersection of urban and environmental spheres, and the benefits that creative solutions such as in urban forestry can have in highly impacted and low income communities. (www.urbanreleaf.org) I am also interested in the study of economic botany and ethnobotany (as in what are the roles of plants in different societies, medicinal, ritual, commodity)
