I am an Environmental Educator stationed at Crowder County Park and Historic Yates Mill, my deep dedication to conservation drives my work. Operating at the forefront of education, I strive to inspire the public and youth alike to join us on a collective journey. Together, we aim to secure a lasting ecosystem that all animals and plants alike can share, ensuring they have a home long into the future, even after we have moved on.

Flappy Bird is an arcade game where you control a likeable bird that has to fly through many obstacles all made up of pipes.

I am a nature lover. I enjoy taking hikes in the mountains and taking in the beauty of the natural world. I am life-long learner across all topics but especially in science-based topics. 

I have always been intrigued by science, especially the outdoors. As an adult, I do lots of gardening. I think learning how to be sustainable is very important. I walk as a form of relaxation/mental health. I try to identify birds, their calls, and nests. I recently have taken an interest in foraging. I find myself asking, what would happen if ....?

I encourage others in my family to reduce, reuse and recycle around our home.

As an educator, I run our school's Environmental Club. I want to pass on my passion to others.

I provide conservation and environmental-themed learning experiences for K-12 students, families, and adults at MSU, W.K. Kellogg Biological Station and serve on the Board of the Michigan Alliance for Environmental and Outdoor Education.
