Ever since I was little I always knew that someday when I grew up I was going to work with animals. My passion for wildlife led me to Blandford Nature Center where in August of 2011 I proudly became the new Wildlife Education Assistant. My goal here at Blandford is to provide each and every visitor with the same sense of wonder and awe that I experience on a daily basis and to educate others in the importance of our natural surroundings.

I graduated from Grand Valley State in 2011 with a B.S. in Wildlife Biology, my favorite animal is a monkey, I have a cat named Ellie Mae who I spoil beyond belief, and a love for wildlife and everything that comes with it. So come on out and join me here at Blandford!
