I am a new teacher starting in the fall. I graduated with my Masters in May and am excited to join the Hardy team. I have two children and live in a small town where community means a great deal. This makes the MWEE idea perfect as helping make our farm and rural lands healthy is something most will get behind. Additionally, my background is in environmental engineering, so I do have a familarity in some of the concepts. I am excited to learn more and be well prepared for my journey!

I am a nature-based educator, providing opportunities and advocating for the right of every child, from preschool through high school - and the grownups who guide them - to have meaningful experiences learning in, about, and with nature.

I currently work to support leadership and best practices at nature centers throughout North America. In my role with the Association of Nature Center Administrators, I create and share content about the issues that nature centers face, and how they can overcome their challenges.
