‘The UMB Pulse’ Podcast: From Olympic Rugby Star and Maryland Carey Law Graduate to Environmental Hero
August 30, 2023The latest episode of "The UMB Pulse Podcast" will be released Friday, Sept. 1.
A number of esteemed UMB alumni have trekked cross-country to call Colorado home. While attending the Podcast Movement Conference in Colorado this past month, our co-hosts took an opportunity to interview a University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law alum, Carmen Farmer, for this episode of "The UMB Pulse."
Carmen Farmer is a senior conservation project manager for the Northern Front Range and Lower South Platte Basin for Colorado Open Lands — a nonprofit dedicated to protecting land and water in Colorado. While the population of Colorado is growing by leaps and bounds, Farmer helps to assure there is a symbiosis among humans, land, and wildlife across the plains and in the mountains as Colorado’s lands and waters are critically important to its unmatched quality of life. Her work is dedicated to ensuring wilderness and wildlife preservation for future generations.
Farmer is a 2006 graduate of Maryland Carey Law, and prior to that, she earned her bachelor's degree in Urban Affairs and Planning from Virginia Tech. And interestingly, Farmer is an Olympian! We’ll hear a little bit about her experience training for and representing Team USA Rugby at the Rio Olympics.
