Hi! I am an environmental educator at Merry Lea Environmental Learning Center of Goshen College! I work with everyone pre-K to adult connecting them to nature, working on connecting nature to the classroom, and so much more. My passion is getting kids outside and helping fellow educators connect academia and nature. I also LOVE plants. I spend a lot of my personal time researching native flora and working in my backyard prairie pocket and garden. I currently have my bachelors in Early and Middle Childhood Education, Mild/Moderate disabilities, I have my Reading Specialist endorsement and am currently getting my masters through Goshen College in Environmental Education. I am tentatively planning to get a doctorate degree in either ecology or Educational Leadership.
