I develop educational programming that brings environmental monitoring programs to local communities. Science education allows me to embrace a role that combines making environmental education accessible and connecting educaiton to relevant ecological research efforts. I have had many different roles as before becoming an environmental educator including being a collections assistant for a natural history museum and a field assistant to ornithology researchers.
Blue Ridge Therapeutic Wilderness instructors are professionals who develop a wide variety of skills: outdoor living, motivational interviewing, risk management, group facilitation, and mindfulness– to name a few. We emphasize a relational approach that provides students with the support, awareness, and skills needed to achieve their goals. Simply put: Field Instructors are role-models for a healthier way of life.

I am currently launching my second nonprofit that is focused on expanding access to nature-based early education. We are located in Boston and provide nature preschool, forest days for public schools, and consulting services to educators interested in launching nature-based early ed programs in the USA or abroad. I'd love to connect!
