Position: Education and Engagement Specialist 

Contact me for more information on bluebird nestbox monitoring, Conservation Mini-Grants for groups within our district, field trips to the LandUse Learning Center and demonstration garden, and California Naturalist courses.

I grew up in Fontana, Calif. going on weekly hikes in urban spaces and understand why green spaces in the suburbs are so important for personal and ecological health. I have my bachelor's degree from UC Riverside in Sustainability Studies and in Sociology. I have formal and informal experience as an educator with time in the classroom and time in public lands as my classroom.
