BS, Northland College, Fisheries and Wildlife Management

During my time as a student at Northland wolves were an important part of experience. I choose Northland because of the opportunity to be a part of the Wolf Tracking Team.

In my freshman year I was offered the position of Timber Wolf Alliance student employee. I spent three years working for TWA and learning how to inspire people to care about wolves.

After college I worked as a seasonal bat biologist for three years, but I realized my true passion was for conservation education.

I continued my journey at the Lake Superior Zoo in Duluth as an educator where I spent 10 years sharing my passion for conserving wildlife.

I am excited to return to TWA to bring what I have learned about conservation education to help TWA's mission to promote human co-existence with wolves.

I love the community feel that Northland gives. Having the opportunity to get to know students, faculty, and other staff allows for a great environment for collaboration.

I enjoy hiking the North Country Trail, kayaking a swimming in the many lakes around Iron River. I also spend a lot of time building vegetable and pollinator gardens in my backyard.
