Berkley joined the university’s Innovative Agriculture and Marketing Partnership team in the fall of 2023. Her background includes several past positions at universities and the private sector, as well as 12 years at The Nature Conservancy, which she initially joined in 2011 as a coordinator for the Great Lakes Project’s aquatic invasive species team. In 2018 she moved to The Nature Conservancy’s Canada Program, where she supported teams working on Indigenous-led conservation and innovative solutions to climate change. She has a degree in English literature.

In her off hours Berkley manages a small family farm where she grows and harvests several varieties of fruits and vegetables. She also owns two pack goats, which accompany her on backpacking trips. She loves being near water, whether she’s swimming or kayaking.
