I love to chat with my adult children, read, garden, lake kayak, and hike in nature with my husband. My dissertation research was with 3-6 year-olds, investigating their connections to nature in a nature-based Montessori school. I have 13 years of experience teaching in K-12 (math, science, ELL, and health) in Botswana, the United Nations International School in Manhattan, and public schools in Minnesota, and twelve years as a professor primarily teaching integrative STEM to pre-and in-service teachers. A founding board member for a Montessori school and board member for an Environmental Learning Center in SE MN. I am presently serving on a Public Library Board of Trustees.

Educator, coach, mom, and wife who loves adventure and creating beautiful experiences for others.

I grew up surrounded by nature and outdoor adventures, which inspired my educational pursuits of environmental education. I hope to continue the work I started with my thesis, which combines restorative practices with place-based education to support youths’ understanding of climate change.

I grew up hiking and exploring the Montana wilderness and from an early age I knew I wanted to work with children. I attended the University of Montana to pursue a degree in Elementary Education and Environmental Studies and spent many summers working at outdoor education facilities including; the Teton Science School, Montana Natural History Center and the Glacier Institute. After completing my first teaching position in Montana I hopped on my bike and pedaled to Alaska with my sister. I fell in love with Haines, Alaska and founded a place-based summer camp, Haines Science Camp that I ran for 3 years before handing off the camp to a local museum and beginning a teaching position at the Haines School. Eventually, the pull to be working with kids outdoors drew me out of the classroom and back into the environmental education field. I currently works for Takshanuk Watershed Council as the Education Coordinator and provide watershed education to preschool through high school aged students in Haines, Klukwan, and Mosquito Lake in Alaska.
