I am an artist, naturalist, and educator out of Missoula, Montana who specializes in wildlife illustrations and has taught science and nature education for over a decade. My mission is to inspire curiosity and lifelong stewardship of nature by connecting people of all ages to their local ecosystems. In both my teaching and my art, I invite others to slow down and notice the wonders surrounding them.

Outside of teaching and art, I am passionate about volunteering, hiking, reading, and traveling. And of course, spending time with my husband, sons, and two orange dogs: Yogurt and Aldo Leopold.
