Naturalist with Indiana State Parks

I work as the Senior Nature Educator and Education Projects Manager at Audubon Community Nature Center. I've been there since 2011. Previous work includes National Park Service, Indiana State Parks and serval nonprofits. 

I am a science and environmental educator, writer, and researcher. Having worked in the field over 3 decades, I've taught from middle school through adult levels, written ancillaries for environmental textbooks, and coordinated professional development programs. Climate change and concept mapping!

Environmental educator, certified interpretive guide (CIG) and birder who loves working with children and connecting people to nature. I have a bachelor's degree in Environmental Science, with experience in environmental education, interpretation and monitoring. I've worked with non-profit organizations giving talks, workshops and interpretive programming in topics ranging from birds, water quality, marine life and nature conservation for audiences of all ages. I also offer middle-school level science and math classes at a Montessori school. I love to share my passion for the environment with others.

I coordinate educational programs for working environmental professionals, including educators, managers, business executives, and policy-makers.
