Lily joined GrizzlyCorps in 2024 after serving as a fellow at the Hopland Research and Extension Center (HREC). She oversees fellow recruitment, onboarding, and support while managing program logistics and events.
She holds a B.S. in Environmental Management and Protection from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, where she assisted with two research projects: one evaluating nitrogen mineralization rates of organic fertilizers to better inform sustainable agricultural practices, and another creating a methodology for evaluating sustainable consumer experiences using eye-tracking and biometric data collection. In spring 2023, Lily received a grant to host the LEAD.
Scholars Talk Exhibit, an on-campus event showcasing the experiences of black, indigenous, and queer environmental activists and professionals. During her fellowship at HREC, Lily co-developed environmental education programs on the topics of climate resiliency, ecosystem management, and conservation. Her work aims to increase equitable access to natural resources and environmental learning opportunities.
