When Nile entered first grade, she wanted to be a florist; everything changed when she got her first greenhouse job during her first year at Barnard College.  Since then, she has been unable to stay away from greenhouses: while getting her masters at the University of Toronto; getting her first "real job" at Volunteer Park Conservatory; finally joining the team at University of Washington Biology Greenhouse in 2013. 

Nile cares for the teaching collection most weeks on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays.  She often contributes photos to the greenhouse instagram account @uwbiogreenhouse (https://www.instagram.com/uwbiogreenhouse/) as well as posting on her personal accout @notalwaysthebotanygreenhouse (https://www.instagram.com/notalwaysthebotanygreenhouse).  

She will be away June 9th 2022- August 15th 2022
