We are delighted to add the amazing Melanie to the BEMP team!

A New England native captivated by the Southwest, Melanie Kazenel received her BA in Environmental Studies and Spanish from Wellesley College and her MS in Biology from the University of New Mexico. Melanie has studied meadow ecosystems in Massachusetts, tree species in Minnesota, native grasses and their fungal partners in Colorado, and native bees in Vermont and New Mexico. In her spare time, Melanie enjoys outdoor adventures of all kinds, dancing, cooking, and dabbling in guitar. She is excited to share her love of ecology and the outdoors with BEMP.
