Gnome Herder
Oak Openings Region
I have been a Naturalist/Historical Interpreter for eight years for our local park district. I hold a B.S. in Environmental Science and a M.S. in Geosciences. I am an Ohio native and spent most of my childhood flipping logs and catching toads. Naturally in my professional career I work to provide a variety of educational programs, workshops, conferences, and publications focused on Ohio wildlife ecology and biology, habitat management, and sustainability. Through this work I find it especially rewarding bringing the non-nature person into the park and inspiring them to preservation through the human story. For many years to come I hope to facilitate the toad hunting adventures of this and future generations!
