Roberts has built her career working directly in the field, with eight years of experience as a seasonal technician for the U.S. Forest Service on both the Chippewa National Forest and Superior National Forest, followed by two years in environmental consulting. Her work has focused on supporting forest stewardship, wildlife monitoring and science-based management practices that improve habitat for a wide range of species.
Throughout her career, Roberts has collaborated with multiple conservation partners including the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, the University of Minnesota and the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe. These partnerships have helped advance natural resource goals and strengthen cooperative habitat management across the region.
At RGS & AWS, Roberts will focus on projects associated with the Moose Habitat Collaborative and support stewardship work with the U.S. Forest Service to improve forest health and wildlife habitat in Minnesota.
