Hello everyone. I'm sincerely looking forward to meeting you and expanding your horizons into the wonderful world of nature, with my solar-powered classes (yes, all my electricity is solar)!

I started out as a wildlife biologist (Bachelor's degree) then evolved into a conservation educator (Master's degree), author, and artist. I have worked in the rain forests of Panama, the swamps of Florida and the mountains of Idaho. I have numerous published articles on environmental issues and also conceived the award-winning book, “Art of the National Parks”. I have taught science (and art) indoors and outdoors, as well as written curriculum for all ages for organizations such as World Wildlife Fund and the Smithsonian National Zoo. I lead organized group nature trips to Panama, Africa, Spain, California and New Mexico and love teaching people about exotic animals, plants, and places. 

When I worked in the environmental education departments of different organizations, we created innovative ways for students to learn concepts through fun experiences, such as games, teamwork, creative thinking, and the magic of inspiration. This is what I bring to the online classroom. Of course, it's also fun to share my personal hands-on experiences in the wild places I have lived and visited. That personal touch is engaging to students and can ignite a lifelong interest in the outdoors.

I live in Albuquerque, New Mexico, my adopted state and truly the "Land of Enchantment". Here, I like to spend time hiking, mountain biking, painting, watching birds and watching the light change on the mountain.
