I am a staff member of the Lake Champlain Sea Grant program at the University of Vermont. I help create and produce continuing education workshops for real estate professionals on issues related to land use and water quality protection throughout the real estate transactions process. In addition, through a social marketing campaign, I promote lawn care practices designed to improve soil health and reduce stormwater runoff. My primary targets are businesses and municipalities. My other profession is in mental health. I am a licensed mental health therapist in the state of Vermont and maintain a private practice.
