I am an informal educator with a background in Zoology, Marine Biology, and Conservation. I've worked at several zoos gaining experience and have turned to an educational setting to enhance public appreciation for and actions on behalf of wildlife and wild places.

Working to inspire nature connection, community engagement, and environmental stewardship to create a meaningful and lasting sense of place for individuals of all ages and backgrounds.

Hola!  I am a San Jose, California native who has been in the field of education for ninteen years.  I have worked in all kinds of educational environments: classrooms, Maker Ed faires, museums and (most recently) at the Martial Cottle County Park visitor center.  

I have my M.Ed in Art Education and an MFA in Comics.  I am, also, a painter and have had my work exhibited at the de Young Museum and various galleries in the San Jose area.  I recently finished a fellowship with the city of San Jose that focused on sustainability through our art practices.  The program was called the Resilient Climate Artist program. 

 

I am senior undergraduate at UNL majoring in Fisheries and Wildlife. I want to go into animal conservation, maybe even research, and enjoy learning about the ecosystem and ecology. 

I am a Christ-follower, home educator, and Scout leader.

I am a licensed landscape architect in the State of California currently working for the Office of Grants and Local Services for California State Parks.

I am a marine biologist who has found a career in education. I graduated with my undergrad from Texas A&M College Station in Parks and Conservation and my master degree in Ocean, Coastal, and Marine Science. My thesis focused on the growth and reproduction of black corals in the Gulf of Mexico. After finishing my masters I began working at UTRGV coastal studies lab as a research associate and then moved up to becoming the program manager. Recently I accepted a position at Sea Turtle Inc as the Director of Education where we focus on the education, conservation, and medical care of sea turtles found in the Gulf of Mexico.
