With over a decade of experience in conservation and more than seven years in environmental education, I am passionate about connecting communities with nature. I specialize in organizing community events, teaching K-12th grade students, and providing outreach support to local residents. Holding a master's degree in natural resources and outdoor education, I strive to inspire environmental stewardship through hands-on learning and engagement.
