With more than nine years of dedicated service to the West Virginia community, I have honed a diverse skill set that encompasses effective communication across all age groups, the creation of age-appropriate educational curricula, proficient management of environmental education initiatives, and the unwavering commitment to ensure a positive and enriching participant experience. My tenure with the Division of Natural Resources has provided me with a dynamic range of roles and responsibilities, including but not limited to Recruitment, Retention and Reactivation (R3) State Coordinator, Becoming and Outdoors Woman State Coordinator, Project WILD State Coordinator, Event Planner, Environmental Educator, Wildlife Biologist, and Wildlife Caretaker and Maintenance Technician. These multifaceted experiences have not only deepened my expertise but also nurtured a profound passion for conservation and environmental stewardship.
