I am a zoologist who enjoys sharing my love of the animal kingdom with lifelong learners of all ages. I especially enjoy connecting children to nature, and keeping their natural scientific sparks lit!  

In addition to my undergraduate and graduate degrees in Environmental Science/Fish & Wildlife Management, I have specialized experience in ornithology and birding. I am a Flying WILD certified educator; focused on birds for my graduate research project (West Nile Virus in corvids); have a certificate in bird biology from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology; have written species accounts for Cornell Lab of Ornithology's Birds of the World website; have monitored birds at my local nature center as part of their eBird Project Feederwatch program; and completed the Certified Bird Feeding Specialist program through Wild Birds Unlimited.

I also have nearly two decades experience as a home education advocate, including homeschooling my own children from preschool through high school. I am a big proponent of flexible learning, individualized education, and supporting fellow neurodiverse learners, so please don't hesitate to reach out to me with any questions or requests for additional resources.  We all learn in our own way and time, but everyone should have the chance to learn about how cool animals are!
