Bridget manages the U-M Graham Sustainability Institute’s education programs - the undergraduate Graham Sustainability Scholars program and the graduate Dow Sustainability Fellows program. Inspired by her love of the natural world, Bridget was trained at the U-M School for Environment and Sustainability. She then spent 8 years out west, first in Colorado then in California, working in the water and agriculture space. But Michigan would always be home and she eventually returned with her family. She taught environmental science courses at Washtenaw Community College and realized sustainability education was her mission! She has been a sustainability educator since 2018. Bridget’s students inspire her and give her hope for the future. She is also an Environmental Commissioner and a Climate Ambassador for the City of Ann Arbor. Bridget is in her happy place when playing volleyball, foraging for mushrooms, and traveling with her family.
