About Me

Born in Salem, I traveled south to pursue my undergraduate degree at the University of Oregon. In my final year at the UO, I had the fantastic opportunity to participate in Environmental Leadership Program. Through developing, implementing and revising place-based curriculum, the importance of environmental education has truly resonated with me.

Discovering the unique history of this lovely state and reconnecting to my home has been a lifelong pursuit of my own. My love of nature blossomed at a young age visiting places like Silver Falls, Mount Hood and Beverly Beach. Throughout my childhood, I spent many years roaming the peony fields at my grandparent's farm.

My goal is to maintain my own sense of wonder and awe in the natural world while supporting others along the way!
