I’ve dedicated my career to environmental education and sustainability, advising multiple state departments of education, non-profit organizations, and school districts on how to create systemic change that results in greener and healthier schools. I currently serve as the Vice President of Education and Engagement at the National Wildlife Federation, where I oversee a team responsible for the development and delivery of pre-K-12, higher education, youth leadership, and community programs.

In this role, I was responsible for the Eco-Schools USA, Schoolyard Habitats, Young Reporters for the Environment, Learning About Forests, Connecting Kids to Nature, Eco Leaders, Eco Careers, and RecycleMania programs.I've advised multiple partner initiatives, including the Global Environmental Education Partnership, ee360°, Green Ribbon Schools, and Green Schools National Conference and contributed to the development of several global initiatives, such as the US-Taiwan Eco-Campus Program and the Climate Equity Collaborative. I served as Foundation for Environmental Education’s National Operator for the Eco-Schools program in the United States and participated in the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of International Information Programs which supports people-to-people conversations with foreign publics on U.S. policy priorities including Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math pedagogy for teachers.
