How can I help you?

Are you an educator who wants to integrate local nature or history into your curriculum? A librarian looking for new programming ideas? I can work with you to customize my programs to fit your needs.

Or are you a land trust or conservation commission looking for someone to monitor a property or create a baseline documentation report?

My mission is to encourage excitement and curiosity about the world around us while stewarding the land for the future. I have developed and presented programs about nature, science, and history for federal, state, and regional organizations. I’m a certified interpretive guide through the National Association for Interpretation. I’ve worked as a seasonal conservation easement monitor for the State of NH, The Nature Conservancy, and the Harris Center for Conservation Education in Hancock, NH, and written baseline documentation reports for Francestown Land Trust.

My career path started in information technology and library science, but the pull of the outdoors was strong. I studied natural resource management at Oregon State University and have since been exploring the places where people and the environment come together.
