Growing up in Colorado, she developed a deep love for the outdoors and is excited to share that passion through her teaching at the Teton Science School. During college, she studied the Yellow-Legged Mountain Toad and participated in several sustainability-focused research programs. She also collaborated with the Aquarium of the Pacific to assist in purchasing verifiable blue carbon credits. A lover of animals, she’s eager to explore the species that inhabit the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.
