I am the SDSU Extension 4-H youth program advisor for Pennington County, South Dakota. I graduated from Black Hills State University with a bachelors degree in Outdoor Education. I have worked for The Outdoor Campus-West as a Naturalist Intern. I was a Biological Science Technician for the National Park Service working with the Northern Great Plains Inventory and Monitoring Network. I also performed a small mammal study at Mount Rushmore National Memorial, population density estimate of finescale dace at Cox Lake near Spearfish SD, and conducted Creel Surveys for the SD Dept of Game, Fish, and Parks.
