My calling has always been to teach, and at the same time to learn.

It is my firm conviction that every individual deserves the opportunity to develop a relationship with the natural world. I aim to assess barriers and curate experiences that support environmental and outdoor learning for all. Persistent in this work my hope is to empower others to discover a sense of place that is inspired by the seasons and at the same time enveloped in relevant opportunities for stewardship and civic engagement.

Grow Wise Learning was founded to incorporate my degrees in the Fine Arts and in the Sciences, my Master’s Degree in Education, my experience as a naturalist, my desire to effect change through facilitation and consulting, and a recurring motivation to bond students of all ages to the places where they live and learn. A perpetual learner myself, I have also started a new venture and “grown” my business to include a small-scale native perennial nursery to cultivate place-based education through habitat creation, conservation, and restoration.

I am full of gratitude that I am able to devote my energy to encouraging others to discover the joy and wonders that are only found in nature. I believe that when we pay attention to place we can remain devoted to, be inspired by, and continue to grow wise learning from this incredible Earth that we share.
