In her role, Emilie supports local and regional collaboration on soil health initiatives and climate-resilient agriculture, capacity-building at member organizations, securing resources for planning and project implementation, applied research and development of region-specific tools for soil health assessment, and knowledge sharing to advance adoption of agroecological practices. Prior to joining the North Coast RCDs, she worked for the USDA California Climate Hub, managed diversified agriculture operations in CA and NY, and participated in research on plant-microbe interactions and the impacts of soil amendments on working lands. Emilie holds a B.S. in Plant Sciences from UC Santa Cruz and an M.S. in Environmental Policy and Management from UC Davis.
