I grew up in Royal Oak, MI and after graduating from Alma College I moved to South Carolina where I worked at an Environmental Education Center for 7 ½ years. I’m thrilled to be back in Michigan and to be joining the education team at Blandford. I’ve always loved spending time outside. As a child I remember playing in the mud, climbing apple trees, and hunting for critters in the backyard. Now I enjoy spending time outdoors with my family and our dog. I’m looking forward to developing relationships with visitors and encouraging people to explore their environment here at Blandford.
