I am a western Washington native who is passionate about creating opportunities for community members to connect with each other, and with the natural world around them. I have my BS in Earth & Environmental Sciences from Washington State University (Go Cougs!), and I also have my Master of Natural Resources Sciences with an emphasis in Environmental Education, and Science Communication from the University of Idaho McCall Outdoor Science School. 

 

Throughout the last couple of years, I have gained much experience working within STEM education and have designed and implemented environmental education with other organizations including City of Fife Parks & Recreation, The University of Idaho, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, and the Franklin Conservation District. In my spare time, I enjoy hiking, fishing, gardening, paddleboarding, and spending time with my sweet little cat, Fern. 

 

I am very excited to take my passion for environmental education and help create inclusive, hands-on, and enriching opportunities for my students with Ashlar Farms and Forest Program.
