I am an environmental economist and board president of Naturwise Columbus. Naturwise Columbus is a local nonprofit with the vision of nurturing young minds to connect and attune to the natural world around them. Our mission is twofold: providing free and accessible educational resources, while also bringing families closer to local institutions dedicated to the study and preservation of nature. 

Wendell Berry encouraged us not to find a "better" place, but to make the place we are better.

I'm from Sanford, North Carolina and currently live and work in Guilford County. I graduated from UNC-Greensboro with my BA and MA in Geography with a concentration in Environmental Studies.

I serve as the Director of the Wilderness Program at St. Mark's School of Texas where we send out students on annual camping trips that are staffed by their teaches and coaches. 

Chair of the Canadian Network for Environmental Education & Communication and SDG lead for Scouts Canada. Curriculum creator, writer, and researcher, advocate for outdoors and climate change education. Previously Swedish/Quebec comparative research, and the Sustainability & Education Policy Network.

I'm a science writer and illustrator interested in pursuing a career in environmental art or education. I have a background in marine biology and environmental journalism, and hope to develop educational programs or materials about aquatic science in academic and public settings.
