I've been an amateur nature enthusiast since I was a little kid in San Diego, CA. I was one of the founding members of Audubon Miami Valley (Oxford Audubon Society in 1974. I am presently coordinating the online outreach of the local Audubon chapter including the website (audubonmv.org) and social media. I have served on the boards of Audubon Ohio, the National Audubon Society and Ohio chapter councils. I was the Executive Director of Three Valley Conservation Trust, 2013-2017. I was the Office Manager and Art Instructor at the the McGuffey Foundation School, 1986-2013.
