Lily joined GrizzlyCorps in 2024 after serving as a fellow at the Hopland Research and Extension Center (HREC). She coordinates GrizzlyCorps external communications, recruitment, offboarding, and administrative support at the UC Berkeley School of Law’s Center for Law, Energy, and the Environment (CLEE).

​

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.
