In 2016 we began our Masters in Sustainability Science program at UMass Amherst. No stranger to the campus or beautiful Pioneer Valley, we quickly discovered that we had so much in common; appreciating the outdoors, enjoying good food, living in the same buildings during our freshman and sophomore years(!!!). It almost felt like fate that we returned to campus at the same time, yet again. After graduation in 2017 we enjoyed our first hike together and the flame was ignited. Our values and hobbies seemed a perfect match, one date turned into many and after some time Chris relocated from Agawam to Norwood where we shared our first home together. And here we are! Engaged, parents to the most perfect dog, Martha, and still reminiscing on our love for ZooMass.
