Margaret provides operational and student services support for the MLS and PhD in TLCS programs. She transitioned into this role after spending many years enthralled in the world of molecules and chemical reactions, getting to play in the laboratory and develop programs that tend to the impact of chemicals used in diagnostics manufacturing. Alongside this work, she began organizing with her peers at work to highlight norms that create inequity and hold community dialogues to ask how to shift the culture. She also began deepening her relationships with the forest, plants, soil, fungi, and gardening which initiated her journey of honoring her own differentiated ways of knowing. She has been involved in community-led food sovereignty projects and now is lucky enough to join local high school students in the stewardship of their school garden. Her experience in the 2019 MLS cohort was transformative, and she is grateful to help make this program possible, carrying an aspiration to navigate her role with love and faith in the possibility of a world where all life can thrive. Margaret resides on occupied Wabanaki lands (midcoast Maine) near the confluence of six rivers, not far from where they become ocean, and is happiest when dancing with her beloveds.
