About
Biologist. Educator. Filmmaker. Having adventures in informal science education and outreach as a science communicator.
I am especially interested in environmental education, distance learning, and citizen science. Getting people of all ages excited about science and connecting them with the natural world is my passion.
I completed my MS in Museum & Field Studies with an Informal Biology Education & Citizen Science focus at the University of Colorado at Boulder. I now work as part of the Denver Museum of Nature & Science team as the Distance Learning Coordinator.
