Alex Colosimo
Field Ecologist
I joined the WLS team in April of 2024 as a Field Ecologist. I bring with me just under 4 years of environmental consulting experience where most of my work was centered around wetland and stream delineations, vegetation monitoring, and rare plant surveys. During those years, I grew an affinity for plants and became especially fond of the rare, threatened, and endangered species (I normally make trips in my free time to see cool plants!).
I grew up in northwestern Pennsylvania bordering the Allegheny National Forest and numerous state parks/game lands. Growing up that close to a variety of natural areas kickstarted my interest in nature and the outdoors. In the spring of 2020, I graduated from the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown earning bachelor’s degrees in environmental studies and Geography.
Outside of work, I very much enjoy anything that keeps me active and outside, especially if it involves skiing or backpacking!
