I am a professional educator, program and grant administrator. I have been fortunate enough to be involved in many aspects of non-profits and educational institutions, both secondary and post-secondary, with specialties in earth and environmental sciences, utilizing technology, education, and community development. I am passionate about learning new skills, making new connections, creating new ways of thinking about problems, teaching, and helping youth prepare to make decisions about their futures. For more than a decade I have helped community through non-profit and program management, development, and organization through initiatives and grants from community to state and federal opportunities.
