BIO

Holly is a second year dual Master’s student, pursuing an MS in Natural Resources from UVM and a Master’s of Climate and Environmental Policy from Vermont Law & Graduate School. She recognized her interest in further connecting science and policy after her Bachelor’s at Champlain College. Originally from Wisconsin, she moved from a dairy state to another dairy state and has found herself researching the impact of the dairy industry on water quality. Alongside the direct environmental impact, she is interested in how grants and policies influence the dairy industry’s practices. When Holly isn’t doing school work, you can find her playing soccer, crocheting, reading fantasy books, or going for a stroll in the woods.
