Botanist,
Biodiversity Leaders 4 Harris
I'm an urban ecologist focused on enhancing people's daily connections with nearby nature. My work emphasizes how design, education, and government can foster this relationship. As the founder of NYC Wildflower Week, I lead an organization that creates cultural and educational programs to engage urbanites with the floristic wonders of New York City.
I also contribute to the New York Times and WNYC Public Radio. In 2013, I helped develop a bill that became the first "biodiversity" law, supporting native plants in public landscapes. Currently, I'm co-leading the NYC Biodiversity Task Force, with our report scheduled for release in May 2025.
My latest project, Biodiversity Leaders for Harris, aims to establish a nationwide coalition of conservation leaders and nature advocates, focusing on integrating biodiversity conservation into national initiatives and future administration efforts.
