Educator, coach, mom, and wife who loves adventure and creating beautiful experiences for others.

I grew up surrounded by nature and outdoor adventures, which inspired my educational pursuits of environmental education. I hope to continue the work I started with my thesis, which combines restorative practices with place-based education to support youths’ understanding of climate change.
