Brett was Science Director of AVEO from 2007 — 2009, and is delighted to have returned to the AVEO fold in January 2011.  In addition to her work with the Harris Center, Brett teaches Coastal Ecology at Franklin Pierce University and serves on the editorial board of Whole Terrain, Antioch University New England’s nationally-acclaimed journal of reflective environmental practice.  She received her M.S. in Environmental Studies: Conservation Biology from Antioch University New England in 2007.  Prior to her graduate work, she conducted all manner of ecological field research at Cape Cod National Seashore.   Brett received her B.A. in Literary & Cultural Studies from the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, VA.

When not citizen science-ing, Brett can be found roaming the dunes and shores of outer Cape Cod, scratching her way across desert playas, prowling used bookstores, or cooking locally-grown feasts at her home in Keene, NH.
