I have been involved in EE since my 6th grade science teacher brought our class to Asbury Woods Nature Center. That was in 1969. So, I have been involved with EE at AWNC and in Pennsylvania as a volunteer and/or as a part-time, and full time employee for a combined 51 years.

Always learning and happiest working with other learners who share a deep bond with all things nature. I hold a Ph.D. in STEM & Environmental Learning (Leaf). My work spans 30 years in program and curriculum design, research and evaluation, using the lenses of literacy, art, and systems thinking.
