Anna Collishaw

Former undergraduate intern

Anna Collishaw worked in the Agroecology lab over the summer of 2018. She majored in Environmental Science and Policy with a concentration in Environment and Agriculture at the University of Maryland. She is from Montgomery County and enjoys hiking, wrestling, gardening, and caring for her backyard hens. With experience working on many different farms--including a non-profit dairy focused on community development and empowerment--she holds a special place in her heart for Jersey cows and goats. Anna worked with Cullen McAskill to study the effects of saltwater intrusion on plant species diversity over time by analyzing raster data in a small plot study. In the future, she hopes to pursue a career related to food justice and environmentally and socially sustainable food systems.
