Field Biologist turned Environmental Educator with a passion for all-things winged. Lucky enough to have spent my entire career studying nature and striving to help people re-connect and re-wild. Certified Forest Therapy Guide through ANFT.

Director of OSU KidSpirit Oregon State University (OSU), since September 1998, and Instructor in the Department of Exercise Science. OSU KidSpirit is a youth program located on the OSU campus since 1961 offering positive youth development programming in Sports, Science, Arts, and Cooking. Work experience includes working with organizations such as Maui Girl Scouts, Maui Special Olympics, and Girls on the Run Willamette Valley, reflecting my commitment to positive youth development, leadership and staff professional development, risk management, and personnel management. ​

I am a student at The Ohio State University studying Natural Resource Management specializing in Parks and Recreation. Right now I am taking Intro to Environmental Education and Communication. I love outdoor recreation and teaching young people about the environment. I love to spend as much time every day as I can outside!

Para La Tierra is a nonprofit organization, conserving fragile habitats in Paraguay through Scientific Research, Community Engagement, and Environmental Education. Our award-winning environmental education program Voces de la Naturaleza is creating a new generation of Eco Leaders.

I am a passionate environmental educator keenly interested in short-term, local, and affordable outdoor endeavors for all community members. Through environmental education, I believe that we can foster a love of the outdoors and inspire folks to appreciate nature in their own contexts.

I am passionate about early childhood environmental education and currently work as an instructional assistant while I pursue my EE certification.

I have 20 years of experience with working alongside youth and adults within tradtional and non-traditional educational settings. My work has been centered around education, criminal justice, programming, training, and community involvement. I have been fortunate to expand my skills and knowledge in other areas and would like to grow within the environmental education sector.  I have an orange thumb when it comes down to planting and a green heart for growing and learning. Building my skills in this area will help me continue to spread the message locally of how we are all growers and learners of our environment. I am excited to become an Environmental Educator!
