I have been active in the field of environmental education for over 10 years. I studied Natural Resource Interpretation at Colorado State University and went on to receive a Masters degree in Curriculum and Instruction with an emphasis in Environmental Education from Florida Atlantic University. I have served as an educator and developed curriculum at organizations ranging from museums to residential outdoor facilities in seven different states. I joined CAEE in May of 2008 and since then has led Environmental Literacy Plan efforts in collaboration with the State Department of Education, was selected to sit on both the Colorado Academic Standards and Assessment review committees, and is active in the environmental education community both in the state and nationally.
