Originally from Grantham, New Hampshire, Arianna earned a BS in Ecology and Economics at the University of California, Davis. Since graduating, she worked as a Research Assistant for the Environmental Science and Policy Department at UC Davis to study the Endangered Species Act. She has also worked as an Intern with Native Plant Trust, where she helped to coordinate a community science rare plant monitoring program. She is passionate about exploring human relationship to the land as well as how environmental justice intersects with racial and economic justice. Following her fellowship, she began pursuing a MS in Environmental Policy at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor’s School for Environment and Sustainability.
During the summer of 2021, Arianna collaborated with the New Hampshire Commission to Study Offshore Wind and Port Development to create communication materials that will inform New Hampshire audiences about the potential benefits of offshore wind development in the Gulf of Maine. Drawing upon offshore wind development activities along the southern New England coast, Arianna worked with the Commission's interdisciplinary membership base to draft content that illustrates what offshore wind development in the Gulf of Maine could mean for New Hampshire’s economy and environment. She created a website that will serve as a clearinghouse for the Commission's findings as well as an educational resource to learn more about offshore wind in New England.
