Hi, I'm Haley! I'm studying Natural Resource Management at OSU, and I have been a Park Ranger in Columbus since 2022. I'm striving to become a Naturalist and encourage curiosity in others.

I've been an environmental advocate ever since I can remember. I fell in love with nature when I was in girl scouts at a young age and my love and advocacy has continued to grow since. I've turned my love of the environment into a career, teaching science and the performing arts. I'm currently a 5-7th grade Science teacher.
