Ethnobotanical analysis of San Isidro Labrador, 1866 for the San Antonio Museum of Art's exhibit: Roman Landscapes: Visions of Nature and Myth from Rome and Pompeii (Feb 24 –May 21, 2023).
Working with Dr. Shannon Novak (Professor of Anthropology, Syracuse University) supporting research with an Indo-Guyanese immigrant community in Toronto, Canada, using my experience as an ethnobotanist to observe plant use in their practices.
Worked for a high-end Chinese tea company. My work primarily consisted of tea education and included travel to Fujian, China meeting with tea producers allowing me to observe the diverse ways people interact with and enjoy Camellia sinensis.
I managed the Baltimore, MD branch of the New Roots Program with the International Rescue Committee addressing holistic challenges in refugee populations across the United States.
In addition to community gardens, New Roots also spearheads farmers market partnership programs, mental health programming, nutritional education, backyard gardening support, general health education, garden training, and community engagement.
