Hi there!

I am a biomimic, educator, and nature communicator. Basically a nature nerd at heart.

I’m a graduate of the Biomimicry Master’s program at Arizona State University, and received my Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Studies at The University of California, Santa Cruz. I wrote my undergraduate thesis on "Integrating Biomimicry Into Higher Education", which kickstarted my journey in the biomimicry and education space. I was the Program Coordinator at the ASU Biomimicry Center, where I helped to design and launch one of the world's first undergraduate certificates in biomimicry with Dayna Baumeister. During my time in Arizona, I guest lectured across campus, and led community workshops at the Natural History Institute, the Desert Botanical Garden, and the Highland Center for Natural History.

I am currently a Visiting Instructor at Pratt Institute where I teach a course I created, titled "Biology for Biomimicry',' and I run after-school nature connection programs for The Kiva Center at Denver elementary schools. I am the creator and host of Learning from Nature: The Biomimicry Podcast. My ultimate passion lies at the intersection of biomimicry, place-based experiential education, and engaging change-agents in this exciting field.
