Originally hailing from Colorado, I’ve spent my life nurturing a love for the wild and wonderful people and places in the heart of the U.S. After earning a degree in English and history from Colorado State University, I was called to the prairies of southern Wisconsin to begin my conservation career as an Educations & Communications Fellow at the Aldo Leopold Foundation. I love nothing more than helping people connect with the land and one another, whether through my writing or out in the field. I’m thrilled to be back at the Foundation helping provide fabulous Land Ethic Live! events and other educational programming for our community!

When not at work you can find me paddling one of Wisconsin’s waterways, hunting for treasures at a flea market, traveling the backroads of the Driftless Area in my ancient Subaru, or checking a new Culver’s location off my list.
