Her love of nature and the outdoors stemmed from her parents and grandparents, and she knew her career would be based in science from an early age.

Her job responsibilities have included propagation, greenhouse management, nursery management, education, design, rewholesale sales, purchasing and working with the public. Currently, she’s employed as a territory sales manager for TreeTown USA, a nursery that provides plant material to industry businesses from coast to coast. Her love and extensive knowledge of plant material are instrumental as she assists the public in choosing the right plant for the right place.
