Bio: Born and raised in East Tennessee in the foothills of
the Smoky Mountains, I grew up on a Black Angus cattle farm
and it was there that I acquired my deep love of the outdoors,
animals, and all things natural. As kids, my brother and I
ran wild across the fields, pastures, hills, streams, and
it was there that I acquired my love of the outdoors and all
things natural.
The joy of introducing others to the wonders
of the natural world has shaped my professional experience
and taken me from the hills of Tennessee to the central lowlands
of Russia to the rivers of Ohio to the Sonoran Desert and
now to the Pacific Northwest. After moving to Seattle from
Arizona just a short while ago with my husband, teenage stepson,
and a slew of pets, I find we all have settled comfortably
in our new home in West Seattle. As a multicultural family
with strong ecological and scientific ideals, we feel that
Seattle has potential to be our forever home.
Most recently, I was employed by the Colorado
River Indian Tribes as the Education Director of the ‘Ahakhav
Tribal Preserve, responsible for outreach, fieldtrips, and
camp programs for tribal and non-tribal youth of the area.
Working in the lower Colorado River plateau was a great experience;
however, after the second year of running summer camps in
127 degree heat – in a terrain sprinkled liberally with
rattlesnakes, scorpions, and spiders – I decided there
had to be better ways to challenge myself. And I think I’ve
found it in this very exciting opportunity to shape and guide
the educational programming at the Seward Park Center!
