I am the Education Coordinator at the Maryland Coastal Bays Program, a Natioanl Estuary Program located in Maryland. As Education Coordinator, I support and provide meaningful opportunities for our watershed residents and visitors to gain a deep understanding of their surrounding environment, with the ultimate goal of inspiring environmentally responsible decision making.

Midwesterner that fell in love with the west and outdoor education. I've worked for public lands for the past 15 years (NPS & BLM) and love what I do. I have the opportunity to provide outdoor education to youth throughout western Oregon.

How might we flip the conversation on climate change from a focus on the causes and consequences to a focus on solutions? How might we enable people of all ages to have better conversations and get into action? I created a climate solutions game as a tool to help do just that.

I develop environmental and geographic education resources and programs - related to mountains, seas, and everything in between. Currently I'm focusing on citizen science and the vast possibilities for teaching and learning, in particular iNaturalist, Debris Tracker, and camera trapping.
