“I grew up spending a lot of time outdoors, which has translated into a life-long love for nature. I also had some phenomenal science teachers from elementary school through college, where it seemed like a perfect fit for me to pursue a degree in Environmental Systems. I appreciate that I have been able to combine so many interests and talents into a meaningful career, with an emphasis on using environmental science for real community benefits.”

“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.” – Albert Einstein
Best wildlife encounter?
My hiking and camping adventures have yielded a number of memorable wildlife encounters, but the one that brings me the most joy is from home. I love sitting outside in the evening and watching the bats fly, especially against the sunset painted sky. I still get as excited as I did the first time, when I realized that this was something I could see in my own backyard.
What’s your favorite season?
I love fall weather and enjoy the vibrant colors of the foliage and then being able to see the “bones” of the trees when they drop their leaves.
