Larisa joined ESLC in January of 2020 as a Conservation Assistant, and is now ESLC’s Enhanced Stewardship Manager. Originally from Hunterdon County, New Jersey, she attended Washington College in Chestertown where she received her BS in 2019 as a double major in Environmental Science and Ecology and a minor in Chemistry. During her time at Washington College, she nurtured her passion for conservation and ecology both locally on the Shore and abroad, fostering a deeper understanding of restoration, ecosystem dynamics, and sustainability, especially in working landscapes.
Larisa moved to the Shore permanently after graduating, and currently lives in the town of Easton with her partner Trevor and two cats from Talbot Humane. At ESLC, Larisa works on projects pertaining to habitat restoration and resilience, as well manages ESLC’s preserves and offers GIS support. Outside of the office, Larisa is a master naturalist and docent at Adkins Arboretum, and enjoys birding, art, and volunteering with Talbot Humane Society.
