     Thank you for visiting my portfolio website, where I've compiled many products of my creativity. Before diving further, here's a bit of background on me.

     My entire life, I've enjoyed two things: the outdoors and telling stories. As I set out to pursue my degree in multimedia journalism, these two interests were entirely separate. While studying at Northwest Missouri State University, I became very involved in its student chapter of The Wildlife Society as well as Bearcats Going Green (an organization devoted to promoting sustainability).

     I soon realized my communication skills could be used for telling nature's story to others, sharing conservation education. As the Community Engagement Coordinator with Story County Conservation, I have used community outreach to educate the public about conservation efforts and promote outdoor recreation through various digital channels and in person, too. I coordinate a robust volunteer program, lead service projects, and truly enjoy my role in community outreach.

     It's all about encouraging people to get outside and enjoy the things Mother Nature has to offer while doing so responsibly to ensure future generations will have the opportunity to enjoy these resources as well. One day it is my hope that they will want to share this appreciation for nature with others as well.     

  Welcome, Earthlings
