I have been teaching Environmental Sciences for almost 10 years from coast to coast and in settings ranging from classrooms to the wilderness. Currently I'm Owner & Lead Educator for the Environmental Collaborative of Ohio where we offer innovative programs that give kids hands-ons experiences to build STEM skills and knowledge in Earth & Environmental Sciences.

I have a passion for all things and activities outdoors: kayaking, hiking, backpacking, biking, climbing and aimlessly wandering. During my free time you can usually find me along the banks of the Mahoning River & Mill Creek or exploring the countless natural areas in the Mahoning valley and surrounding communities.
