Town of Brookline's Environmental Education Leader. Fisheries and Wildlife Sciences BS degree from Paul Smith's College.

I grew up on a farm/ranch outside of Pleasant Dale, Nebraska.  I attended Chadron State College for three semesters before transferring to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln where I study grassland systems and grazing livestock.   

I am a homeschool mom of one son. I currently work part time for the county parks as a park aide. I enjoy gardening and playing softball. 

Environmental Education was a passion I discovered while an undergrad and dove in from there. Working to empower our youth to change the world around them for the better is what keeps me going every day. An education in peace and sustainability is necessary for the betterment of our tomorrow.
