Background

About Josh Lamore

It is my aspiration to work with plants and help take better care of our planet. Currently, I am pursuing a Certificate in Horticulture at the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens and the Master Composter Certificate through DSNY, while working seasonally as an Interpretive Park Ranger for the National Park Service. I graduated at the top of my class in 2019 with a Masters Degree in Library and Information Science at the Pratt Institute and previously worked as an Administrative Coordinator in the Office of Education Abroad at Hunter College, CUNY. I have worked as a freelance writer, researcher, editor, tutor, and artist/writer's assistant since 2014. In 2018, my first book,"Beauty Beyond Telling: The Story of Cedar Breaks National Monument", was published by Zion National Park Forever Project. The book interprets the natural and cultural history of the region to foster a deeper sense of understanding and appreciation for the area and its cultures. It is sold in several national park book stores. During the 2017-18 academic year, I worked for the Museum of Modern Art as a cataloging intern under a NYARC library fellowship, modifying Marc records in OCLC Connexion and Millennium. In 2014 and 2016, I worked as an interpretive ranger, history consultant, and writer for Cedar Breaks National Monument. I also have a great deal of experience as academic writing coach for dissertation, masters thesis projects, and book-length academic publications. Most notably, I edited and indexed Dr. David Gleicher's "Beyond Marx and Other Entries"(Brill, 2018). I have helped NYU, Columbia University, and New School students maximize their writing and research project goals. I graduated as Valedictorian of Long Island University’s class of 2014.
