I'm a student at Ohio State University, currently working towards getting a bachelors in environmental science.

I am an environmental science student at The Ohio State University. I am interested in using this degree to be able to explore environmental and outdoor education paths. I am also working to get an environmental education certificate to become more experienced in the field of environmental education. I am the president of Society for Ecological Restoration at OSU, an SENR student ambassador, and a student instructional assistant for the course biology and Identification of woody forest plants which all help gain leadership skills. 

My name is Lexi and I work for Project Learning Tree Ohio within the Forestry division of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. Environmental education is my passion, I love getting outdoors and helping people connect with nature. Before working with PLT I was a naturalist at Blendon Woods Metro park where I interacted with people every day and helped them with identification and environmental stewardship. I am also a student at the Ohio State University study Natural Resource Management!

Studying Natural Resource Management at The Ohio State University. 

I am the founder, president, and executive director of the International Raptor and Falconry Center. I am a raptor ecologist with a research emphasis on eagles, particularly Golden Eagles. I am a master falconer, environmental educator, and raptor rehabilitator. I hold a Ph.D. with my dissertation research focusing on Arizona’s Golden Eagle nesting ecology and productivity. I hold an MS in Environmental Policy and Management and an MS in Interdisciplinary Environmental Studies. With all that, my real passion and vision are to have a place that people can learn and experience the birds that I hold dear. I founded IRFC in March 2017. To my knowledge, I am one of the very few individuals that is a master falconer, researcher holding a Ph.D., rehabilitator, and educator. Although you can be one without the other, I set out to be an interdisciplinary expert that intertwines all expertise to provide me with unique insight.
