Non-traditional educator focused on providing natural and developmental experiences to youth worldwide. My passion is in Natural History Interpretation and Museum Education, connecting individuals to the natural environment and cultural resources in unique and personal ways. Interpretation is a communications process that reveals meanings and relationships about natural, cultural, historical, and recreational resources. Through the ART of interpretation, I help individuals make connections with the natural world and science through facilitated educational programs, printed materials, and physical displays. As a manager of education programs, I seek to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in programming and staffing while striving to increase compassion, curiosity, and conservation for the aquatic animal world. My undergraduate degree is in outdoor and environmental education from Northland College, WI and my master's degree is in museum education from Tufts University, MA.
