I am currently a Senior Education Specialist at the National Aquarium, where I engage hundreds of students in education and youth development programming. I am motivated by my passions to connect others to the natural environment and inspire youth conservation leaders. I also serve as project leader for the Youth Exhibit Guide, YouthWorks, and internship programs, which allow teens and college students to explore careers in marine science and develop valuable workplace skills. Previously, I served in AmeriCorps for the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, an educator for Pickering Creek Audubon Center, and camp director for Delaware State Parks. In my spare time, I enjoy hiking, camping, and spending time with family and friends.
