Located in Southeastern Massachusetts, USA.

As a naturalist, my focus is interpretation and education. I've developed curriculum for weekly environmental justice classes; a week-long ecology day camp; summer intensive workshops for children and adults. These curricula were developed in collaboration with a biologist and other educators. In 2022, I changed careers and now do education as a volunteer. I co-direct a one week ecology day camp, and lead week-long intensive workshops in ecojustice and eco-spirituality for children and adults.

My formal training in biology/ecology is limited: UC California Extension's Certified Naturalist program in 2021; Mass. Audubon's Field Naturalist Certificate Program in 2023; Intro to the Study of Bryophytes, Eagle Hill Institute, 2024.
