Curatorial AssistantRebecca earned her B.S. in Forest Ecosystem Management and Restoration from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. As an undergraduate she spent time in Costa Rica collecting specimens from various tropical plant families. She began her life out-west working for the Forest Service in Idaho and Washington State. She also worked for the California Department of Fish and Game, conducting vegetation assessments and habitat mapping of state ecological reserves, and for a non-profit restoration company, assisting with riparian restoration and invasive plant removal projects. Becca spent the last two summers working as a senior botanist in Egypt, teaching university and high school groups lessons in botany. Simultaneously, she orchestrated a program that monitored floristic resources, including levels of grazing and mammal activity in addition to plant health in St. Katherine Protectorate. Becca currently spends her days within the UC and Jepson Herbaria as a curatorial assistant; she collaborates in the curation of cryptogam specimens from the Los Angeles County Museum. Needless to say, she loves her job. At the end of the day, though, she finds herself luckily enamored with her collective home and friends in North Berkeley. Publication: |
