I have always been deeply connected to the natural world and have spent the last 16 years of my life sharing my knowledge and passion through teaching others, mainly in the Santa Cruz mountains and California Bay Area. I live in Santa Cruz and am enrolled in the the California Environmental Educator Certification Program as well as the Stewards of the Coast and Redwoods Climate Steward Certification Program. I am currently in between jobs and am looking to advance my career with an organization dedicated to stewarship, advocacy, and nature connection. My goal is to work collaboratively in a passionate and supportive team environment that promotes physical and emotional wellness outdoors within my local community.

Bronwen coordinates the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) B-WET program, a competitive grant program based at the NOAA Office of Education that funds outdoor experiential environmental education in schools throughout the United States. Bronwen came to NOAA in 2008 as a Sea Grant Knauss Fellow. She holds an MS in marine resource management from Oregon State University and BA in biology from New College of Florida.  Before joining NOAA, Bronwen spent two years as a U.S. Peace Corps Volunteer in Samoa, where she worked for a community-based marine protected area. This experience led to an understanding of the importance of working within social and cultural frameworks when trying to motivate the public to respond to complex environmental challenges, an interest that is well-served through her work in education at NOAA.

I am a Biologist in the U.S. EPA Office of Research and Development.  My primary work responsibility is to develop and optimize cellular assays for chemical activity screening.  Peripherally, I participate in EPA-RTP Community Engagement and STEM Outreach activities.  I have also been the PTA Chair of my children's elementary school garden for the past several years.  I would like to be able to better serve the groups that utilize EPA CE-STEM services as well as my community.
