CancelI have been a Fort Collins Master Naturalist since 2007 and a Colorado Native Plant Master since 2011. I recently retired after 18 years as a biology professor at Colorado College and am now a volunteer Curator at the Gillette Museum of Arthropod Diversity at CSU. In addition to presenting programs as a volunteer naturalist, I continue to do field research on native plants and insects and enjoy participating in community-science projects.
A former biology teacher turned science writer, illustrator, and graphic designer, I've been a Master Naturalist since 1995. My illustrations have been incorporated in many of the local natural area entrance signs. I enjoy sharing my passion for natural history and scientific illustration with others.
In my career as a journalist, my most enjoyable work has involved the natural world. I became a Master Naturalist in 2017 and am delighted to continue learning about the local ecology and introducing others to its wonders. I also worked for twenty years as a writer-in-residence in Missouri schools, leading creative writing workshops. My degrees are in journalism and French.
