Local focus for a big impact. 

As a naturalist and environmental educator, I focus on nature in our backyards to connect with conservation and the big picture. Incorporating the work of local photographers and citizen scientists whenever possible, I strive to make authentic connections to our immediate environment. I earned my MPS in Wildlife Conservation and Management, with expertise in predator-prey dynamics, ethical conservation and human-wildlife conflict. I'm a lifelong Antioch resident, and enjoy wildlife viewing from my home on the Fox Chain O' Lakes and in our Lake County Forest Preserves.

I specialize in interactive and engaging programming for youth, as well as in-depth presentations for groups of all ages.
