I’m originally from Northeast Ohio where I was an Ohio Certified Volunteer Naturalist (OCVN) and lead nature programs at Holden Arboretum in Kirtland, Ohio. I’ve always loved the outdoors, camping and hiking and would explore the thick woods of Ohio often. I moved to Colorado to experience the mountains and the culture of an active lifestyle. I most enjoy sharing my love for nature with others, particularly children and young adults.

Hi everybody! I am a Colorado Native but wasn't able to really start enjoying the outdoors until College at CU Boulder. There, my love for hiking, climbing, and other miscellaneous outdoor activities really prospered. Spending time in the outdoors is one of my favorite pastimes, but I especially love it when I am able to share it with others.

My interest in the outdoors can be attributed to camping in the mountains as a child as well as growing up in a city with a strong nature focus – Boulder! I love going on bird walks, learning about plants and their properties, and exploring our state’s natural beauty. I particularly enjoy watching chickadees in my backyard and finding limber pines in the Rockies.

My childhood memories are endless joyful hours playing amidst miles of orange and avocado groves in Orange County CA. Summer camps and wilderness training in the Sierra and Rocky Mountains fostered an intense curiosity of nature’s many-layered secrets through self-reflection, learning, and the sharing of those secrets with others. After too many years working in Silicon Valley tech I have emerged to celebrate the natural world in Boulder County. Come celebrate with me!

I got hooked on being in nature as a kid wandering the palmetto scrub and backwaters of west coast Florida in search of critters and fossils. Though a third-generation geologist, I’ve never earned a dime with my geology degree. For 3 years as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Ghana, I taught secondary school geology, chemistry, math, and general science. A second degree in graphic design led to a career in technical and scientific illustration. I have been volunteering as a naturalist since 1976.
