She has worked as Environmental Educator since 2003. She earned a BS in Environmental Science and Biology from the Upper Iowa University. Since then she has learned from and worked with a plethora of talented Conservationists. In 2016 she moved to Oregon and currently works for the City of Keizer.

When asking participants to draw their favorite tree she hears so many deeply personal stories of childhood, nature connection, passion, and memories.
