I am a garden and nature education and communication specialist. For more than twenty-five years I have shared my passion for agriculture and the environment as an educator in the classroom and the field, as a writer for print and social media, and as a community event planner. I hold a MS in Environmental Studies with a concentration in Environmental Education from Antioch Univeristy and have early education and elementary school teacher certification. I love to teach, hike, garden, cook, and explore with my eleven-year-old boy and our dog Ripple.
