Project Coordination and Production Management

Hailing from Rhode Island, USA, and a University of Pennsylvania alumna, my 20-year journey with Lynx has been a lesson in meticulous book project coordination. I excel in managing diverse teams—authors, artists, photographers, editors, and production specialists—to create nature books renowned for their quality and presentation.

Passionate about resolving challenges, I aim to deliver final products that highlight the contributions of all collaborators and serve as tools for scientific dissemination and reader enjoyment, upholding Lynx’s legacy. My work is both professionally fulfilling and a means to express my dedication to conservation, collaborating with international NGOs and scientific institutions like BirdLife International, IUCN, and the Smithsonian Institution. Through these projects, I hope to raise awareness about wildlife and the importance of its protection.

Outside the office, I enjoy exploring nature with my family, instilling in my children the values of respect and care for our natural world.
