After earning a Bachelors Degree in biology and a Masters Degree in teaching, I've been able to combine my passions of nature and teaching. I was the Senior Program Facilitator at The Outdoor Classroom for 7 years before moving on to Allegheny Land Trust, acting as the Senior Director of Education and Curriculum. My focus is on incorporating nature and science into everyday steam teaching activities. I have won multiple awards for my teaching, and have traveled the country presenting workshops for national and international conferences such as STEMCon, NAEYC, NSTA, PAEE, Natural Start Alliance, the Early Childhood Education Summit and more.
