Alice Nelson

Alice graduated from Williams College in 2010 with a B.A. in Geosciences and a concentration in Environmental Studies. She did undergraduate fieldwork in Svalbard and wrote a senior thesis on Quaternary climate change in the Arctic. Following her graduate work at UVM, she took a position as a Staff Geologist at Environmental Resources Management (ERM) in Boston, Massachusetts. Alice is currently a Senior Project Manager at ERM working on site investigation, remediation, and environmental risk management for clients primarily in the pharmaceutical and manufacturing sectors.
