You will find me...

I am lucky to be based in the vibrant city of Tucson, but I enjoy traveling all over Arizona to deliver fun environmental education programming to students in different districts.

Why Water? 

I grew up in the oak and cypress forests of Central Florida and spent many hours of childhood floating down channels of rivers and crystal clear, freshwater springs. It was there that I began a lifelong love for the natural world. Like the rivers which carried me through childhood, my career has meandered through multiple avenues of environmental education. I was drawn to Arizona Project WET because water is the life blood of all things natural. What better place to focus my goals of fostering environmental appreciation and stewardship?
