A former middle school science teacher with a background in geology, I joined Rocky Mountain Conservancy in 2022 to help revive our Field Institute after a two year hiatus. I'm excited to lead the program into it's next chapter. I care deeply about the outdoors, protecting wild spaces, and helping people learn about the natural world. I can think of no better place to do that than spectacular Rocky Mountian National Park, and am honored to carry on the Field Institute's legacy of connecting our participants with expert instructors and helping them forge a deeper understanding and love of our public lands.
