“Born and raised in San Jose, I grew up exploring the Santa Cruz mountains and eastern sierras and cultivating my love for the earth and desire to work outdoors. I later moved to San Francisco, where I graduated SFSU with a degree in Child Development and a minor in Women and Gender Studies. I was an art teacher for a while and loving it, but I realized the city was no longer serving me, so I turned to Santa Cruz-and am now living my best life working part time as an outdoor educator and a part time artist. 

My main goal working in outdoor ed is cultivating a love for the earth in kiddos, and in turn helping them understand the importance of and value in protecting and forming a deep connection with nature. I thrive outside because there’s always something to learn, explore, investigate, and experience with all of your senses. I am so grateful to work with amazing families in the fresh air! Woo! 

When I’m not teaching kiddos, on the hunt for birds and mushrooms and dead stuff and wildflowers, petting any dog I can find, or creating art. I’m currently working on getting a business license for my art, but still find it necessary to work outdoors too so I can continue my personal growth and get kids stoked to be outdoors. ”
