As a field ecologist, I have worked with a variety of taxa throughout my career- plants, macroinvertebrates, reptiles and amphibians and bats. I also taught middle and high school science and used my hands-on knowledge of ecology to bring science lessons to life for my students. I am currently the Director of Education at the NJ School of Conservation in the heart of Stokes State Forest.

in 2017, I was selected as a Grosvenor Teaching Fellow by National Geographic. I created a "Tips and Tricks for iNat Smartphone Photography" video as part of my capstone work. https://vimeo.com/454466902

Currently, I'm a member of the Nat Geo Education Team for the MacroBlitz Project here on iNaturalist. To learn more explore www.MacroBlitz.org
