My journey has been as varied as the seasons in Minnesota. I grew up on the edge of the Nebraska Sandhills, 20 minutes from ground zero of the annual crane migration along the Platte River and have always been drawn to the prairie. It's there during the region's hot and dry summers I first dabbled in garden design based around native plants and prairies and xeriscaping  I've been a classical musician, a nonprofit media, content creation and communications manager. A Sales Director, leader of teams, entrepreneur, board member, writer & editor, hobbyist and professional photographer.

I am well-versed in Adobe Creative Suite, Mailchimp, WordPress, Squarespace, WIX, CRM and other digital tools and platforms. I am a copywriter and editor with experience grant writing.

I want now to contribute my skills and passions to meaningful work preserving our environment.
